A stereo pic and animation being heavily in the works, i thought i might clear things up some:

(some technical help for understanding)

"Cross-eye technique" - crossing your eyes in a manner as if you wanted to look at your nose but much slighter. Your left eye sees the right stereo image, the right eye sees the left one.

"Parallel-viewing technique" - not crossing your eyes, but simply looking at the far away distance even though you are watching a stereo image right in front of you. Your left eye thus sees the left, the right eye sees the right image half.

Everybody with two eyes, not suffering from any sight disorder, should be able to master at least one of these methods.

I personally for the life of me cannot force my brain to look at close-up stuff as if they were a mile away, seems unnatural and actually damaging to me, while i just cross my eyes a little and boom, stereo. Looking at a suitable image that is. But stereo image pairs on the internet for some reason almost always choose the left image for the left eye and vice versa thing, and it's frustrating to me.

I don't want the same frustration to you, especially in connection with the pic i've been working on for weeks, so let's get to know which is the universal preferred method, or should i release both kinds.

to be honest i can go cross eye but it also gives me headaches after some minutes (other methods have never worked for me so far)

I bet to at least some extent it should depend on the construction of the effect. I've learnt a couple tricks along the decade long journey i was every now and then experimenting, like, it must not be pushed above a certain limit, the two cameras should simply simulate how wide apart your eyes are, and there always should be a mid-far focus point and stuff going on out of focus both behind and in front, otherwise the effect is just too harsh, and disorienting.
