Can an Optical Illusion

Visual perception is closely connected to our mental and emotional states. People who are more reactive may not catch all the details, while those who are more introspective might see deeper layers. This doesn’t mean one way is better than the other—but it does suggest that how you interpret your environment could reflect how you handle anger.

Anger is not a bad emotion. It’s a signal that something is wrong or that boundaries are being crossed. The goal is not to remove anger, but to understand it. These kinds of visual tests, while not scientifically rigorous, offer a fun way to start thinking about your emotional habits.

Tips for Managing Anger

• Take a pause before reacting.
• Ask yourself what you’re really angry about—often, it’s not the surface issue.
• Practice mindfulness or deep breathing exercises.
• Talk to someone you trust instead of bottling things up.
• Engage in physical activity to release built-up tension.

How many circles do you see? Whether you count six or twelve, the crucial thing is to be curious about what it reveals. Your perception says more about your inner world than you might realize. By becoming more aware of your emotions, you gain the power to select how you answer—and that’s where true emotional strength lies.
