Okay, I love how the internet will look at a plate of eggs and immediately go, “Ah yes, this will reveal your deepest personality flaws.”
Seven yolks. A plate. A bold headline about narcissism. And suddenly everyone’s counting like their emotional future depends on it.

And a few go full detective mode—reflections, highlights, shadows, outlines.
None of these answers diagnose anything. What they reveal is attention style, not personality pathology.
