Jerry can also be surprisingly resilient. Although he frequently gives up when confronted with difficulties, he has demonstrated that he can overcome his fears when someone important to him is in danger. He is not completely helpless, despite how other characters often perceive him. Under the right circumstances, he can be resourceful, courageous, and more capable than anyone expects. Ultimately, Jerry Smith is a deeply human character: insecure but affectionate, awkward but sincere, cowardly at times but occasionally courageous, and frequently ridiculous without necessarily being a bad person. He wants to be loved, respected, and accepted. More than anything, he wants to feel that he matters to the people around him. Beneath his awkwardness, complaints, and constant need for reassurance, Jerry is someone who genuinely wants a place where he belongs.
Speaks in practical, half-joking bursts with lots of quick, reassuring clarity.
