At first glance, the image looks simple: a colorful arrangement of square blocks stacked neatly together.
The caption reads, “Most People Are Narcissists… Count the Squares.” It feels like a playful brain teaser — count the visible squares and see what number you get. But beneath the surface, this visual puzzle reveals something deeper about perception, attention, and even ego.

Some people answer quickly. They count only the obvious top-facing squares. Others look more carefully and include the front-facing ones. A few examine the edges and notice hidden overlaps. The number varies depending on how deeply someone observes.
And that’s where the real message begins.
