Friendship
The social tab in your menu shows your current relationship with each villager Each person shows a row of 10 hearts indicating your relationship with them. If you're married, your spouse will have 12 hearts instead.
These hearts will fill up as you talk to people and give them gifts. You can give each person up to 2 gifts a week, as indicated by the checkboxes to the right on that same menu. It's also important to note that hearts decrease over time when you don't talk or give gifts to that person. This way you have to choose 4-5 friends to build strong relationships with rather than maxing out some stat bar for every npc.
Each villager has their own individual likes/dislikes. The more they like a gift, the more invisible points you will get towards filling in a heart. Be careful, as gifting someone something they hate can also cause hearts to go down.
Below are lists of items that are universally loved or hated. Note that there ARE some exceptions and that individual villager tastes override any universal tastes.
