crossing legs and feeling weird?

Question

i am a 16 year old female who finds crossing her legs very comfotable. but when i was around 8 my grandmother told me crossing my legs isnt good. so my mom who does it nearly all the time i had to stop her but rarely my dad. then i did some research of my own and i found out that crossing your your legs isnt bad unless done for long periods of time. so i tried crossing my legs and found it very comfortable. now i cross my legs nearly all the time, except when im at home around my parents cause i still feel weird to cross my legs infront of them. what should i do to make myself more comfortable crossing my legs around my parents?

Answer 1

Be like Nike and "just do it!" there's nothing wrong with it, I do it all the time without even thinking about it.

Answer 2

Crossing your legs is bad for your circulation. It becomes a habit and you'll find yourself doing it all the time. Try crossing your ankles instead.

Answer 3

Depends how you cross them. At the knee or in a guy like manner.

Answer 4

how about this: when watching TV together (because then they won't pay much notice, so it won't stress you) , try crossing your legs, see how you feel about it - if you're getting really unconfortable, just take a "break", then do it again after a while, until you get used to it

Answer 5

perhaps just be more relaxed, slouch in your chair a bit so then your legs are outtreched, then its not so obvious. don't immediatly cross your legs when you enter the room. become more relaxed and chilled out with them and they won't take much notice then neither should you, hope i helped! much lv!

Answer 6

People get hung up on stupid stuff all the time; your body will let you know if its wrong since it will start to hurt somewhere and then you will know to stop doing that. If it feels ok then it is; just listen to what your body tells you. It will hurt if its wrong.

Answer 7

I was always taught that crossing your ankles was appropriate as well, you still look lady like and it wont make you feel "weird"

Answer 8

Varicose veins are the concern. Just cross em and if anybody gives you crap, who cares.

Answer 9

you shouldnt feel wireid, you should just tell your self that each one has a different oppinion on things and if they say its bad than just say that i searched about it and i found out that there is nothing wrong with doing so. hope this helps! good luck!

Answer 10

Ok, please answer this question for me.....why are you so fascinated with leg-crossing? This seems to be some sort of sexual obsession for you, in which case these questions are inappropriate.
