Sometimes, late at night, we revisit the most philosophical of all questions: “who am I, really?” It’s one thing to know everything that you do and say do. It’s another thing entirely to know what these things say about you. And if you’re anything like us, you’re often looking to the universe for a sign of who you really are.
What if you didn’t have to look to the universe, though? What if you simply had to look down? As it turns out, the way you cross your legs reveals everything about you and your personality. And we’ve got the complete guide to what your leg-crossing style really means.
Don’t believe it? Or maybe you want to discover your own hidden personality traits? Either way, keep reading to discover what the way you cross your legs reveals about you.
One knee over another
Do you sit with one knee over the other? If so, you may do this simply to stay comfortable. Secretly, though, this style reveals that you are someone who is always surprising others. When they first meet you, they might think that you are guarded and even a bit standoffish. The more they get to know you, though, the more they realize what a huge and friendly personality you really have.
Part of what makes your personality such a surprise is that you aren’t usually the one who is known for talking people’s ears’ off. When they do speak to you, though, you reveal yourself as a killer conversationalist, especially in one-on-one discussions. Because you are openminded and not prone to making quick judgment calls, those around you always feel comfortable talking to you.
One of the reasons you’re such a great conversationalist is that you always take the time to fill your own cup. That is, you have plenty of interests and hobbies, and you can have a great time just hanging out with yourself. But when you do connect with someone (especially romantically), your sheer charisma always lights the other person up.

Ankles crossed
Like to sit with your ankles crossed? If so, you might be descended from royalty…or, at the very least, you carry a very regal bearing. People around you generally see you as someone who embodies elegance and sophistication. Your natural leadership qualities and drive to solve problems make people want to follow you. And those who get to know you eventually discover that your regal bearing doesn’t keep you from being a very down-to-earth person.
People love talking to you for many reasons, including the fact that you know how to keep a secret. Instead of being indiscreet, you keep every secret that you hear tucked in your own royal vault. That applies doubly to your own secrets: you don’t open up to people easily and like to keep your deepest ambitions hidden from the world. And one way you hide is through clothing: simply put, you dress to impress and serve as a fashion inspiration to everyone around you.
As for romance, you are someone who likes to take things slow and get to really know the other person. You don’t easily share secrets, which can sometimes make it harder to connect with someone at first. Once you do connect, though, you are someone who completely commits to your romantic partner.
Making a figure four
Sure, you’ve heard of a figure eight, but have you ever heard of a “figure four?” That’s the name of this position in which you sit with one ankle over a knee. If you sit like this, then you’re a real paradox…someone who is confident without being arrogant and chill without being a slacker. Because of this, you put out a vibe to the world that you are casually dominant…someone who won’t hesitate to take charge of a situation as needed.
In another person, all this dominance and authority might keep people at arm’s length. However, you are known for being playful and having a very youthful spirit regardless of your age. You’re very independent, and this plays into your dominant personality. In short, the world sees that you are self-reliant and like to take control, and others find that inspiring, especially when they are dealing with their own problems.
You are a very goal-oriented person, someone who never shies away from throwing themselves into their career or furthering their education. In all likelihood, these priorities mean that your personal life takes a backseat to your goals, but that’s okay. Because you are driven and have nothing to prove to the world, you are surrounded by secret admirers.
Romantically, partners are drawn to you because you know how to keep an eye on the big picture. However, you always make it clear that your partner is part of that picture. Because of your willingness to commit to shared goals, lovers feel at ease while dating you.
