What you see first in this optical illusion reveals whether you’re a compromiser or love seeker

At first glance, an elaborate illustration shows one of two common images.

What you see first could tell if you are a social butterfly making decisions with friends in mind or if you are lonely and looking for more love in your life.

The illusion was shared on TikTok by content creator Charles Meriot, who explained what the illusion can reveal about viewers’ personalities.

Meriot showed the illustration behind him. “What did you see first?” he asked.

A tree trunk on the left keeps young birds in a nest while adult birds fly in to feed them.

“If you saw the birds and the trees first, it means you give in to others and often try to compromise,” Meriot explained.

“That’s why you’re so open and sociable.”

But the leaves and birds on the right side of the frame could also be interpreted as something else.

These details show a woman’s face in partial profile, lazily gazing into the distance.

“If you saw the lady first, it means you want more love in your life,” Meriot continued.

Anyone who notices the woman’s eyes, nose and lips at first glance is likely to be “looking for social or romantic relationships”.

In the comments, thousands of viewers shared what they saw and how accurate Meriot’s assessment was.

“I saw the lady, which is exactly because I’m very lonely,” one person admitted.

“I watched both at the same time,” wrote another viewer.

“I saw the lady first but I’m NOT looking for love,” insisted another.

Some viewers could only see one of the images no matter how hard they tried, even accusing Meriot of “making fun of her.”

“May I ask where the hell the lady is?” asked a confused viewer.

“I saw a lady with bird eyes and a mouth,” one person wrote. “What does that mean?”

Take a look for yourself – which picture catches your eye?
