What's Your Blind Spot?

The Deflector

The one who keeps everyone looking the other way

You have a gift for making every room feel comfortable, and you use it to make sure nobody looks too closely at you. Your humor, your questions, your genuine interest in others... they are all real. But they are also a shield. The moment a conversation turns toward you, really toward you, something in you reaches for the exit.

How it shows up

You answer personal questions with jokes, then redirect. People laugh, and the moment passes. That is the point.
Friends would describe you as a great listener who somehow remains a mystery. They know your opinions about everything except what you actually feel.
When someone gets close to seeing something real in you, you feel a physical urge to change the subject, leave the room, or make it about them.
