What do crossed legs say about you?: Sitting with your legs crossed every day is not just a relaxing habit, but a mirror of your body language.

People do this at work, at home or even while standing. This small gesture can reveal your confidence, mood, interest, and even a hint of flirting. But doing this for a long time can also harm health. Let us know the psychology and physiology behind crossing legs.

boys vs girls

Boys Style: Putting one ankle on the other knee (Figure 4 pose) – a sign of openness, calm nature and confidence.

Girls Style: Crossed on the knees, one foot forward – gentle, stylish and elegant look. Royals like Kate Middleton-Meghan Markle show off the formality by wearing crosses at the ankles.

Comfort or discomfort?

Meaning of spontaneity: Sitting with legs crossed in front of you = confidence and comfort.

Signs of restlessness: Legs crossed + hands held tightly = stress or problem.

Girls in skirts/dresses adopt it for style and coverage. Crossed legs relieve fatigue while standing and give the illusion of longer legs on models.

If the knee turns towards you, understand the signal!

If someone crosses their legs and points their knees/feet towards you during a conversation – this is a sign of subconscious interest or flirting. Body language experts call this a “silent message of connection.”

Health hazards, reduced blood circulation, risk of varicose veins

Disadvantages: Crossed legs for prolonged periods = reduced blood flow, cramps, temporary blood pressure increases, varicose veins.

Advice: Get up every 30 minutes, stretch, place both feet on the ground.
