If you noticed first
1. The face of the man: You need to feel understood
Did you notice the man’s face in the above image? If yes, then it means you are a hard-working person who strives to be respected, admired and appreciated by others around you.
However, this is not really a difficult challenge for you as you can easily understand people and their psyches simply by closely observing them. Accordingly, you reveal a particular side of your personality to a person.
You only show a version of yourself that they can relate to and feel comfortable with. This helps you make people like you more and easily.
This unique skill can be exceptionally useful. However, that doesn’t mean you are fake or deceitful. It simply means you are cautious about how you present yourself to people and how they perceive you. But this can often make you more mysterious than necessary. As nobody truly knows you completely, they fail to understand you on a deeper level.
This can be a problem as you want to be understood by the people you love, especially your partner. As you are a complicated individual, it becomes very difficult for your partner to know or understand you, especially as you only show particular aspects of your personality to them.
But once you give them the opportunity and time, they will definitely understand you. All you need to do is be patient and reveal every facet of yourself to them in all its glory. You will be loved, adored, and appreciated.
2. The person in the coat: You need to feel accepted
If you noticed the man in the coat in the above image then it means you have profound inner sadness. Although it may not hint at depression, it means that you feel a deep-rooted sadness inside your heart. You have a clear understanding of the reality of life and realize that the balance between happiness and sadness is crucial for a meaningful existence.
You know what begins will come to an end, just like everything in life, and this enables you to appreciate even the little things in life.
In a relationship, you need complete acceptance from your romantic partner. In dating and relationships, you haven’t managed to find the person who will accept you wholeheartedly and love you for who you truly are. Most of your former partners were unable to understand your melancholic nature as they were more focused on ‘fixing’ you.
You need someone who can value and appreciate your deep understanding of life and death and see the real beauty in your sad personality.

3. The baby on the table: You need to feel nurtured
Did you see the baby first? If you have, then it means you usually feel helpless in relationships and life. It’s not that you don’t know how to be responsible, take charge or take care of yourself. However, you feel vulnerable and believe that things might head south anytime.
You feel anxious & stressed easily and most of the time you feel sleep-deprived. You have made crying a habit and you find some solace in letting your tears flow at least once a week.
You need to feel loved and nurtured in a relationship. That is what your heart truly wants from a loving, caring partner. That doesn’t mean you need a babysitter. You need a partner who will understand you and will be aware of your emotional needs. You need someone who will care for you deeply, and make you feel safe, secure, and protected. Someone who will support you through the thick and thin of life.
You want someone who will always stand by your side and make life feel less burdensome. You need a strong person who will be the pillar in your life and carry you to bed so that you can sleep peacefully every night knowing there’s someone you can trust to take care of you.
4. The sorcerer reading books: You need to feel spiritually connected
So you noticed the hat-wearing sorcerer first, did you? Then it means you have an intense curiosity about life, your current life, and the next one. You are a spiritual person, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you are religious.
You may have a keen interest in different religions and you believe in the universe or the Supreme Being or God, whatever you may want to call it. You are motivated to know about life and aware that our consciousness lives on beyond this mortal life.
You crave an intense spiritual connection from a romantic relationship. For you, it is crucial that you share a deep and meaningful bond with your partner even though you may not share the same religious or spiritual beliefs.
However, you do feel attracted to other curious minds who love to know about the different spiritual aspects of life, the world, and the entire universe. You want a partner who shares your enthusiasm about spirituality although they might not be spiritual themselves.

5. The two attendants in white attire: You need to feel challenged
If you saw the two standing attendants in the picture, then it means you are mostly a stubborn person who is focused on life and is in control of themselves and their lives. You believe that life would be a lot easier if everyone just trusted you and did exactly what you asked them as you know how things should be.
Although this may make you sound like an egomaniac, the truth is most of the time you are right about your observations, perceptions, judgments, thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. You are probably the smartest person around in any given situation and you know how things should go.
You need a partner who will challenge you in a romantic relationship. You need your partner to be with you, trust you, and support you. However, you also want your partner to counter you, put their views ahead, and challenge you when they believe you aren’t right.
You don’t want a submissive partner. You need someone who won’t be afraid of calling you out. You want to be in a relationship where both you and your partner can support and challenge each other to grow in the long run.
