At first glance, it looks like an ordinary bowl of soup sitting on a wooden table. But stare a little longer, and something strange happens. Shapes begin to stand out. Curves turn into symbols. And suddenly, you realize the image is filled with the number three.

Some people spot only a few. Others see them everywhere.

According to viral psychology claims circulating online, how many number threes you notice might reveal something unsettling about your personality—specifically, narcissistic traits.

Before you panic, let’s break it down.

What Are You Supposed to See?

This image is a classic optical illusion designed to overload your perception. The number 3 is subtly embedded in:

The rim of the bowl

The surface of the soup

The vegetables and pasta shapes

The spoon and background

Some of the numbers are obvious. Others are cleverly disguised, blending into shadows, curves, or patterns.

There’s no “right” number—only how deeply your brain searches.
