Humor
Humor is the ability to perceive, create or experience the comic meaning of a situation, often relieving tension and distancing thinking.
Definition
Humor can support emotional regulation, relationships, and stress management as long as it is not used to deny or hurt others. It allows you to see the situation from a different perspective and reduce the stiffness of your reaction. Its value depends on the context, intentions and sensitivity of the people participating.
