A new optical illusion has claimed what you see first will reveal your deepest and possibly subconscious fears in life.
The image invites viewers to look quickly and note whether they see a smiling face or the moon.
Seeing one image will indicate that your greatest fear is loneliness which can prevent you from finding your ideal mate, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The other reveals that you're afraid of being vulnerable and sharing your emotions with others.
A new optical illusion is asking viewers to identify the first thing they notice in an image: the moon or a smiling face
If the first thing you noticed was the moon if means your deepest fear at your core is vulnerability.
The act of expressing personal emotions doesn't come easily to you and could make you close yourself off to others.
On the upside, it also means you cherish each and every moment in your life and actively are on the lookout for adventures that will challenge you.
You're an extremely passionate individual and feel emotions - whether good or bad - on a deep and intense level.
The smiling face is depicted by two birds flying across the moon to represent eyes and a tree branch below in the shape of a smile.
Seeing the smiling face could mean you struggle with self-confidence and have a deep fear of being alone.
This fear of loneliness has likely caused you to struggle to find the ideal partner who can cater to your needs.
However, it also shows you're a kind and compassionate person who will go out of your way to help others.
You strive to see the good in everyone and are deeply compassionate, allowing you to be able to quickly forgive people who have upset you.
These types of optical illusions use visual trickery to reveal people's personality traits or desires by analyzing how they perceive ambiguous images.
The type of illusion, as shown here, is called a figure-ground illusion that forces our minds to switch from one image to another, meaning you may have noticed the cat first and the mouse only a second later.
When we look at the world, we observe information in small pieces so we don't overwhelm the senses which forces us to focus on a main object while everything else becomes part of the background.
