Mass causes space-time to “bend” and a person has a certain mass. That inflection creates attraction, so then an object (with less mass than yourself.) that is next to you should revolve around yourself since your mass provides attraction?
Answer
You are right that there must also be a gravitational effect between two ‘normal’ masses. Newton’s law of gravitation says that the mutual attraction is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to their distance squared. However, the proportionality constant is very small (of the order of 10-11). Therefore, the gravitational force will only be noticeable at very large masses, otherwise it is simply dominated by friction.
Yet this minimal attraction plays a role in the formation of celestial bodies: it ensures that dust particles in space converge and thus gradually form larger objects.
