Full portrait
You remember what people like, what hurts them, and what they need before they ask. You may not stand in the spotlight, but the show runs smoothly because you are behind the scenes. You avoid conflict, prefer to help quietly, and would rather do a little more yourself than make the room awkward. The catch is that your own bucket can run dry if you keep pouring into everyone else.
