crossed 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

Ask them if looking at you sitting with your legs crossed is uncomfortable to them? If they don't have a problem with the way you sit, then you may feel more comfortable with it too.

Answer 2

The fate of the world rests on this question... joke.
Just do what's comfortable for you. Its true crossing your legs for a long period of time will constrict the blood flow.. so don't do it often. I mean seriously there are more than 1 way to feel comfortable other than crossing your legs.

Answer 3

I've had the same problem
I decided to ask people around whenever I sit , if its ok to cross my legs and if they wound mind if and wat they think of that very politely..
In that way i feel more comfrotable after receiving their reply and can sit more comfortably.
When you are not comfortable you wont be able to participate in an active conversation while sitting. So clear you doubt by asking first and there is nothing wrong in asking!

Answer 4

If this is all you have to worry about, you are living a charmed life. Seriously. Lighten up!

Answer 5
