Our sitting habits often feel automatic, but body-language experts say they can reveal subtle parts of our personality. The way we position our legs, feet, and posture may reflect how we think, communicate, or feel in social settings.
Those who sit with knees together and feet slightly apart—the “A” position—tend to be imaginative, curious, and open to new ideas. Crossing one leg over the other can signal thoughtfulness and a preference for personal space. Leaning back comfortably usually reflects calm confidence and ease in one’s surroundings, while sitting with both feet flat on the floor suggests practicality and a direct approach to life.
Other positions, like tucking legs to the side or sitting in a relaxed “E” shape, often show comfort, patience, and a gentle outlook. While not definitive, these habits offer small clues about who we are.
