Most People Are Narcissists… Count the squares

👉 Total: 30 squares

Some versions include overlapping and hidden squares, which can bump the count higher depending on the image. The key takeaway? There’s often more than meets the eye.

🧠 What This Puzzle Teaches Us

Aside from being fun and a little frustrating, puzzles like this highlight a few deeper lessons:

1. First impressions aren’t always correct.
   Take a second (or third) look.
2. Confidence doesn’t equal accuracy.
   Being quick to answer can make us overlook obvious details.
3. There’s value in thinking critically.
   Dig deeper, ask questions, and challenge your own assumptions.

💬 Final Thoughts

So, are most people narcissists because they’re quick to assume they’re right? Not exactly — but it’s a cheeky reminder that we all have a little ego to keep in check. And sometimes, a simple square-counting game is just the thing to help us slow down and observe more carefully.

Next time you see a brain teaser like this, resist the urge to shout the first answer. Pause, reflect, and look for the hidden layers — both in puzzles and in life.
