Hey there, viewers!
Many of us spend most of our day sitting down.
Maybe it's your office job that demands long hours.
Maybe you’re sitting at your laptop binging our videos.
Sitting is a very normal thing, but did you know that it can tell a lot about your personality.
In today’s video, we’ll talk about different sitting positions, and what they reveal about
your personality.
Does sitting up straight reflect your confidence?
How about the side saddle position?
What does leaning back on your arms signal?
We'll be discussing all of these AND more…
Straight with good posture
Very few people actually sit up with a good posture.
The rest of us are slouched while sitting.
If you’re someone who likes to sit up in a good position, this habit will do you well
in the long run.
Not only is it great for your back and overall body, it also shows your confidence!
Sitting up straight with your shoulders back, and feet firmly planted on the floor sends
a powerful message that you're a strong minded person.
You get extra points if you use your hands to gesture as you speak.
You’re a very confident person who knows their way.
You love to be in control of things around you.
Also, sitting in an upright position indicates that you’re reliable.
You’re always ready to help people and often rescue them.
Chances are that health is your top priority.
Knowing the benefits of an upright sitting position encourages you to always sit erect
and maintain good posture.
You’re well organized, but you’re not a party pooper.
You like having fun and enjoy life to the fullest.

Cross-Legged
Sitting cross-legged on the floor, or in a chair is very comfortable and indicates your
carefree attitude.
It shows you're open-hearted and don't really care what other people think about you.
This pose also reflects your keen interest to explore bigger things in life.
You’re creative and willing to try new things.
Because sitting in a cross-legged position requires some flexibility, it signals your
emotional flexibility in general.
Ankles Crossed
Crossing your ankles means you like to be in command.
You feel tempted to show your superior leadership skills.
You want to stay updated on everyone and everything.
Crossing your ankles is a sign of your elegance.
It also shows how grounded you are as an individual.
However, this posture may also mean that you’re jealous, especially when it comes to romance
and relationships.
Reclined
If you recline a lot while sitting, it indicates a laid-back attitude.
It also shows that you're analytical.
You’re good at analyzing people and their emotions.
You find it hard to stay indifferent.
You like to observe a situation and weigh the pros and cons before jumping to conclusions.
Leaning back shows that even though you listen to everyone, you actually end up doing what
you think is truly right.
While this posture may seem casual, you’re a person who takes things to heart.
In other words, you’re sensitive.
You not only care about yourself, but others around you.
Arms Crossed
Crossing your arms while sitting is quite common.
This position suggests you possess strong character.
It signals your strength, as well as confidence.
You have deep thoughts and like to stay serious.
You think analytically and make your decisions with your mind, rather than the heart.
Some people who cross their arms while sitting do not smile easily, even if they like other
people.
Crossing your arms also indicates your need for protection!
When you sit with your arms crossed, you’re somehow hiding your identity from the crowd.
By doing so you protect yourself from the world.
Experts suggest that those who prefer to sit with their arms crossed feel continuously
threatened by their surroundings.
So, crossing your arms actually makes you feel safer.
Regularly crossing your arms against your chest indicates that you're angry!
In isolated cases, your toes will point away from the person who made you mad.

Clutching Armrests
If you rely on arm rests while sitting, you're the shaky type who needs to feel steady.
Chances are you’re pretty insecure.
Armrests make you both physically and emotionally stable.
You always look for security in a relationship, and an anchor you can hold on to.
Armrests provide a cozy, comfortable feeling.
This pose also tells us that there’s an extremely sensitive side of you.
You like being aware of your surroundings at all times.
As for other people, they find you very reliable.
Side Saddle
Sitting with your knees to the side shows your elegance!
You have a pleasant nature about you.
It can also mean you’re very flirty.
In some cases, it says to other single people that you’re available.
Sitting sideways with your legs together enhances their slender shape.
If you’re holding your knees while sitting, it could mean you’re thinking about opening
up to a person you like.
Kneeling
Kneeling isn’t an easy position.
It shows you're aggressive and ready to take a leap.
This pose even displays your leadership skills, sharp attitude and your ability to solve problems
in an original way.
Keeling also signals you’re always ready to help.
This sitting position is actually not a good position for making friends and influencing
others.
This is why good leaders are not often seen sitting like this.

Now back to our discussion on sitting positions and personality...
Hands Resting In Your Lap
Your still hands tell us that you’re unwilling to bend out of shape for people.
You’re close-minded, and unable to change your views on something.
Resting your hands on your lap while sitting shows your mindfulness.
You don’t usually engage in long conversations.
Instead, you like to believe that your work should do the talking.
Still hands also show off your calm and collective nature.
You don’t make your presence known and try to stay away from the limelight.
This pose also shows your calm and collective nature.
It also indicates your humbleness and helpfulness.
Legs Crossed And Bouncing
If you sit with your legs crossed, and they’re constantly bouncing, it means you’re an
incredibly organized person.
It shows your professionalism as well.
You’re very detail-oriented, and don't like leaving anything for the last minute.
You always meet your deadlines and like doing things in a peaceful manner.
This pose also shows that you’re good at understanding other people's emotions.
But moving your legs again and again can sometimes show your impatience.
Perhaps you’re anxious about something and you can’t get it off your mind.
On the other hand, some people simply swing their legs when they’re listening to music.
This indicates that they’re relaxed and enjoying themselves.
Dead Center
How many of you like sitting right in the middle of a bench?

You want to see people happy and love to make your friends laugh.
In short, you’re a lovable and warm-hearted person.
Hands Folded In Your Lap
