This scenic optical illusion snap will tell you whether you’re an optimist or a cynic, depending on what you see first

Are you the negative one in your friendship group or are you known for seeing the world through rose-colored glasses?

The latest challenge in optical illusion promises to help determine whether you’re bringing positivity or taking energy out of a room.

Looking at the image of the Russian artist Vladimir Kush, first ask yourself what you are looking for.

Some people may notice a pair of lips at first glance, while others may notice clouds in the sunlit sky.

If you saw the clouds first, it means you don’t like it drop your guard around others and constantly watch your steps when interacting with strangers.

You have a cynical side, but when you build relationships with people quite quickly, it’s just hard to earn your trust.

But if you see the red lips first, then you are kind-hearted and do their utmost for others. You are the type to help a stranger when needed, and you are sentimental and cheerful.

Another optical illusion recently shared on TikTok left several people feeling “called out” for its “accurate” portrayal of personalities and morals.

Mia – known as @mia_yilin on the social app – has a video demonstrating what hidden problems you might have depending on which of the two possible images behind the illusion you see first.

The content creator regularly posts optical illusions, puzzles and brainteasers, along with in-depth analysis, to her account for her 455,000 followers to work through.

Users around the world took to the comments below the video (which has been viewed more than 52,000 times since it was uploaded) to share what they saw.

The fun optical illusion of the ‘personality test’ shows what appears to be a stone woman, deep in thought, or a group of bright green trees growing from a rock.

Captioned: ‘What’s the first thing you see in this photo?’ Mia explains how seeing one of the possible images can determine your ‘hidden’ personality traits.

About the first image, she said: ‘When you see the trees for the first time, you are someone who follows the rules. Even when no one is looking, you always do the right thing and you have a huge moral conscience.

“You often find yourself going out of your way to make others happy, and you honestly wish you weren’t always so kind-hearted.”

Explaining the second image, Mia said, “When you first see the woman, you have quite low self-esteem and end up in unhealthy relationships all the time. Because subconsciously you believe that you deserve all that.

‘You lack love and appreciation for yourself and you don’t see how the world lights up with you in it. To improve your life, you must first improve your perception of yourself.”

Surprisingly, almost every TikTok user in the comments section saw the same image – the woman – leaving many feeling “personally attacked” and “called out” for agreeing with Mia’s analogy.

One commenter confirmed: “The head of a woman,” while another wrote: “I saw a woman with hair made of trees.”

Two other users agreed, with one saying: ‘I’ve seen the second one and it’s true,’ while the second wrote: ‘Unfortunately true; saw the woman.’

Others believed that the analogy resonated with them so much that they felt like Mia was “calling them out” on their supposedly unhealthy behavior.

One person wrote: “She just called me,” while another jokingly said: “I came here to relax, not to be attacked.”

Another user said: ‘I didn’t need to be called out like that,’ while another wrote: ‘Why are you so accurate sis?’

However, some users weren’t so convinced by the analogy, with one writing: ‘Wrong.. I saw the woman and I have a good relationship with myself. I have a lot of self-confidence because I don’t have to prove my worth to others.’

According to some experts, being too kind-hearted or too self-critical can lead to a fantastically suitable holiday – as a psychologist picked the perfect British summer holiday destinations for different personality types in June.
