Why Do Numbers Seem to Have Personalities?

Some numbers feel special, like how some friends are your favorite. The number 10 feels round and friendly because it's a full set of fingers, and the number 7 is magical, like the days in a week or the colors in the rainbow! Numbers can be fun and interesting just like people.
