People with biophilic tendencies are those who feel happy and calm when they're around nature or things that remind them of it.
Imagine you have a favorite blanket, soft, cozy, and familiar. When you wrap yourself in it, you feel safe and comforted. Now think about being outside on a sunny day, feeling the grass under your feet, hearing birds sing, or watching leaves sway in the wind. That’s what biophilic tendencies are like, people who feel good when they're around nature or things that remind them of it.
