Every friend group has its characters — the planner, the joker, the peacemaker. Which role do you play?

A natural way to answer

I think I'm the peacemaker of my group. When there's tension or a disagreement, I'm usually the one who steps in to smooth things over and help everyone see each other's point of view. I don't enjoy conflict, so I tend to play that calming role.
