13 Sitting Positions And What They Say About Your Personality.
1. Sitting erect: You are confident AF
Sitting up straight and feet firmly planted on the floor means you are very confident. You get extra points if you use your hands to gesture as you speak. Again, who runs the world?
2. Crossed legs: Either you’re insecure or very bold
Crossing your legs toward someone can be a bold statement that says you’re into the person you’re cozying up to. And interestingly it also means that you are feeling insecure.
3. Sitting crossed-leg: Open minded
Sitting cross-legged on the floor or sofa indicates openness. You are loose, casual, and easy-going. It also means you’re agile and athletic.
4. Crossed ankles: Nothing to hide
Crossing one whole leg over the other while sitting in a chair projects the message that you’ve got very little to hide. And when your feet are planted firmly on the ground, it shows you’re sure of yourself and feeling secure.
5. Sitting in the center of couch or bench: Confident
“Where should I sit? Left or right side?” Sitting in the center of a bench or couch indicate that you are confident.
6. Using armrests: You are insecure
Do you regularly rely on the arm rests? It means you’re the shaky type and little insecure.
7. Clasp your hands: You are people’s pleaser but dishonest
Clasping the hands is a sign that someone is attempting to be extra polite. But it can also be a sign that you are lying and trying way hard to please others.
8. Crossed arm: Angry
Regularly crossing your arms high against the chest indicates that you’re angry. In isolated cases, your toes will point away from the person who pissed you off.
9. Cross your wrists: Insecure
Crossing your wrists in your lap suggests you’re insecure and trying to hide your vulnerabilities by covering the inner wrists.
10. Keep hands still in your lap: closed minded
The still hands indicate rigidity that persists in close-minded people.
11. If you kneel: You’re aggressive
Kneeling with your knees together shows you’re aggressive. It’s not a good position for making friends and influencing others.
12. Splay your knees out to the side: You’re flirtatious
Assuming you don’t take this position for pure comfort, stacking your knees to one side, and propping yourself up, on one hand, is thought to be flirtatious. For women, it makes their upper body more available to the other person.
13. Lean backward on your palms: Judgemental
This sitting position indicates that you are judgmental. Leaning back lets you assess a situation without taking action.
One’s comfort is definitely a major thing here but the same sitting position do tell a lot about your personality.
