Why Do Some People Feel More Gravity Than Others?

Gravity is like a invisible tug that pulls everything toward the center of the Earth. Some people feel this pull more because they are heavier or stand in different spots. Imagine two kids on a seesaw, one kid feels the gravity more if they weigh more, making it harder for the other to lift them up.
