    Familiarity breeds contempt: This proverb implies that the closer you get to someone or something, the easier it is to find fault with them and eventually lose respect. Attachment: This word suggests a strong emotional bond or affection. It's the opposite of detachment or distance, which are closer to the meaning of "contempt."
