Exotropia (Outward Squinting)

Your Body Is Speaking
One of your eyes deviates outward. It does not look where the other one looks — it drifts away, to the side, as though avoiding the direct gaze. Medically, exotropia is a misalignment of the outer eye muscles that causes both eyes to no longer focus on the same point. The result: a divided image, blurred sight, a world that does not hold together.
From a psychosomatic perspective, a deeper question arises: What within you refuses to look straight ahead? What does your gaze avoid — and why does a part of you persistently drift from the centre?
An eye that wanders outward is an eye that flees. Not from a specific danger — but from confrontation with what lies directly before you: your own life, your own core, your own truth. Exotropia is not merely a visual defect, but a gaze that sidesteps itself.
