Why do people tell jokes in intimate relationships?

When communicating with the closest people, they often tell jokes to ease the tense atmosphere, or when they are happy, they can easily express their true feelings.

For example, when you are talking about the future, you jokingly say, "I think I will become a sable because you are always there to protect me." The "sable" here is obviously a metaphor, which means that you feel inferior or fragile about your identity, and the other person protects you through companionship and support.

In more private time, you may express your true feelings. For example, when you are walking at night, you suddenly stop and say to the other person, "You know, I have no one else to talk to except you."

This sentence expresses your trust and dependence on another person, and also implies your loneliness and state of mind that needs attention.

Whether it is a joke or a real feeling, they are the communication between you and your closest people, and they are also an inseparable bond between you. These little words that run through daily life can deepen your feelings and bring you closer.
