Quick way to find your blindspot:

  1. Close your right eye

  2. Hold your phone/monitor 1ft (30cm) away from your face

  3. Look at the 'x' below with your left eye

  4. Slowly bring your phone towards you (or your face towards the monitor) until the '.' disappears

Your username says you're an owl, but you're suspiciously squid shaped

The . is not visible to me at any distance without taking my eyes off the x

Make sure to keep your left eye looking at the 'x' the whole time. The '.' should only be in your peripheral vision.

It's in my peripheral and it never disappears, I had no issue understanding the instructions.
