Answer:

Even your pencil and a piece of paper attract one another. You can't feel this force because the masses of the pencil and paper are so small. Even you exert a gravitational force on other objects. Because your mass is so much less than the mass of the Earth, you can't feel your gravitational force.

In simple word gravitational force is directly proportional to weight of and objects and indirectly proportional to distance.

F=G(m1 x m2) /r^2

F = force

G = gravitational constant

m_1 = mass of object 1

m_2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between centers of the masses

Because of mass.
The planet Earth is pulling you with some gravitational force, but at the same time you are pulling Earth to yourself by your gravitational force. But because the force is dependant on the mass of the object, the force with which you are pulling the Earth is much smaller, than the force thatthe Earth is pulling you with.
Hope it helps!
