Body language is a fascinating window into our subconscious, revealing emotions, personality traits, and even our thought processes. A commonly overlooked aspect of body language is our leg position while sitting. Whether crossed, stretched out, or tucked under, each position can say a lot about who you are and how you interact with the world.

A person’s sitting posture can offer deep insights into their personality, revealing their intentions and even hidden traits. Experts suggest that the position of the legs while seated can be particularly revealing.

“A” position

If you tend to be seated with your legs in an A position – your knees together but feet spread apart – chances are you prefer to avoid confrontation and challenges. Instead of addressing issues, you might ignore them or shift the blame onto others, which can lead to wasted time and missed opportunities.

Crossed legs

Sitting with your legs crossed – whether at the knee or the ankle – is one of the most common leg positions. This placement of your legs suggests you are confident and self-assured, yet protective and defensive.

• Knee: you are relaxed and poised
• Ankles: You are more reserved and tend to be formal.

Both positions can also highlight a preference for privacy, as the crossing motion creates a barrier.

V pose

If you’re more comfortable sitting with your two feet near one another and your legs spread apart, you’re very likely appreciated in the workplace for your innovative thoughts. This is driven by your dislike for monotony, motivating you to pursue fresh experiences, explore new horizons, and forge meaningful relationships wherever you venture.

You refuse to accept failure and have the confidence to start over, rebuilding from the ground up.

However, since you tend to be dismissive, even arrogant, others may find this personality type cold and detached.

Feet firmly on the ground

Sitting with your legs pressed together and feet flat on the floor projects a sense of discipline and attentiveness. You tend to be more open and expressive with their emotions, occasionally coming off as blunt as you are unafraid to share your thoughts.

In contrast, those who sit with their feet crossed or tucked under their chairs might find socializing challenging, often viewing it as a competitive environment where they need to remain cautious of others.

On the downside, you may struggle with criticism, perceiving it as a personal attack rather than constructive feedback.

Knees together, legs slanted

If you like to sit with your feet on the ground, your knees touching but your legs slanted to one side, you likely patient and determined.

Your physical appearance is a priority and you put in the work to make sure you present yourself in the best possible way.

You also don’t like being rushed and believe that things will naturally fall into place in due time.

However, you may be insecure and struggle with criticism, taking it personally, leading you to become defensive.

A person’s sitting posture can reveal intriguing details about their character. From their emotional openness to their confidence levels, even a simple choice of sitting position can offer valuable insights into their personality.
