You are the Comedian!
The Comedian often serves as the family's unofficial entertainer, lifting spirits and diffusing tension with their jokes and playful antics. Beyond just making others laugh, they also possess a keen insight into human nature, using humor as a means of connection and empathy. Despite their lighthearted exterior, the Comedian may also use humor as a coping mechanism, masking deeper emotions or insecurities. The Comedian is usually the big feeler who is great at sensing everything happening in the room at once. So they use humor as a way to soften the tension and liven up the room. But at what cost? Does the Comedian ever grow tired of their humorous ways? Do they have the ability to sit in the discomfort and breath through the tension? Or will they always use a laugh as currency for peace?
