naw, you're not a loco loser emo. If you are then I am. I enjoy sitting like that also. Not actually sitting in public on my side in the fetal position but I'll put both legs to my side with my upper body straight up. That's how I sleep most of the time. Not sure if it's a regression back to the womb when we had around 9 months of a perfect environment where all our needs were met and we were almost at one with our mother but I noticed when I'm stressed or bothered by something it feels natural & helpful to lay like that. I'll get my knees as high as I can to my chest. It feels good n safe to me. I wouldn't care what anyone says about it. If it feels comfy to you then go fetal!! ;))
Now if you're laying like that and you start sucking your thumb and ga ga gooing there might be a problem. LOL

If you are talking about sitting up and hugging your knees, that is almost a norm for sitting on flat ground, but not good for your butt. Lying down like that in public would be a bit weird for a social situation. Sitting on a small object a few inches above the ground or suspending your butt above your ankles, knees bent, is good for stretching your butt muscles (glutamas maximus, pardon my spelling) and the lower back muscles.

Crazy? You're not crazy based upon the way you sit!
What is it someone else's business HOW you sit??
I'm assuming you only sit this way on your own time...
I mean, I would imagine you would sit proper at work,
at an interview, or out on a date, right?
Whatever makes you comfortable...... :)

It is kind of out of the ordinary, but you're not crazy. The most comforable some of us have ever been is inside the womb (in the fetal position)

No you are not crazy
why are they concerned with the way that you sit anyways?
What is comfortable to you might not be to another person
and it shouldnt matter

no you are not crazy,
it is a way to uncounsciosly be back at your mother before you were born.....
sometimes it is a defense mechanism( regression) and it means that maybe you are hoping people solve your problems, maybe a little depression
