How to Analyze the Character From the Sitting Way?

People judge each other based on several different factors. Body language is one of these factors although the foundations of self-identity stem from within the human being. For example, others judge you by the way you walk, the movements of your hands, or the way you sit, through which the hidden sides, or even the well-known in your personality can be discovered. Of course, this speech will not be definitive for various people. Every rule has deviations, but according to some behavioral psychological studies, the characteristics that we infer from the way a person sits are certain for most people.

Find out who you are from the way you sit:

Here are several sitting positions and their meaning:

1- Sitting with hands clasped:

Most people tend to clasp their hands tightly in their lap when they are sitting, as we can see in the picture. This indicates that the person is very emotional and finds it difficult to contain their passion in life. It also gives the impression that they are affectionate and warm, so people are naturally and easily drawn to them.

2- Sitting with hands folded:

People who politely fold their hands in their laps when sitting down are often very nice, quiet, and not very social, but they have a good spirit.

3- Sitting with arms crossed: 

Sitting in this way often indicates strength and that the person has a love for self-defense. They always seek to protect themselves because the intertwining of their arms in front of them gives them a sense that they are protecting their body and themselves, and they repel the danger that may occur. Also,  their steps are carefully studied. This is because they are keen on deep analysis before doing things and taking decisions to avoid making mistakes.

4- Sitting and placing hands on knees:

This position indicates that the person is a leader, has high self-confidence, and is not afraid to take responsibility, but they love compliments very much. However, even if this compliment is fake, they have no objection, and this is their fault.

5- Sitting and supporting arms:

People often rest their arms on the chair when sitting, and this indicates a person's sense of insecurity. The armrests stabilize them both physically and emotionally, which helps them to feel comfortable and safe. Also, it indicates that they are a sensitive person with high sensitivity, and they are well aware of their surroundings.

6- Sitting with legs crossed:

That is by placing one leg on top of the other. It is a preferred position for some people, as this way of sitting indicates that the person is very creative, dreamy, and has a wide imagination. Also, it refers that this person loves to travel and explores the world a lot, as well as always loves to make new friendships. They do not want to waste time in complex relationships, and they prefer to remain alone than to be in a difficult relationship. Moreover, it indicates a person's love for the spirit of the group and interaction with others and their love to make changes in their life permanently, whether simple or drastic changes.

7- Sitting with a back support:

It can be called a military session because the back in this method of sitting is in a straight and healthy position. This method of sitting distinguishes the person who prefers it as having a very self-confident personality and a strong will. It also indicates their mastery, firmness, and seriousness at work. This makes them a good role model and trustworthy for others. Therefore, advice can be accepted from them, just as people seek their opinion on various matters.

8- Sitting with ankles crossed:

This way of sitting indicates that the person is very humble and comfortable at the same time. This is because this position is relatively comfortable, especially if the legs are slightly open, and it is one of the positions that make others comfortable talking to you and trust you as well.

9- Quadrature sitting:

People who sit this way have flexibility. Therefore, it indicates a person's emotional resilience and openness to new ideas, but at the same time they have anxiety.

10- Sitting with legs bent in the same direction:

It is considered the monopoly of women often, not men. This position indicates high ambitions and striving to achieve goals. In addition, it indicates high self-confidence, patience, and waiting for the right time to achieve something. It also indicates that you are a stubborn character who does not give up until the end, and this character does not tolerate criticism from people. Therefore, They always strive to look good and put a lot of effort into their appearance.

11- Sitting with the knees closed together, with the ankles wide apart:

This position indicates that the person believes in moving forward in their lives without thinking much about the problems and obstacles in front of them. This is because of their belief that neglecting problems that cause negative feelings makes them disappear little by little. Also, they often seek to throw their worries on others as a kind of escape from them, knowing that this way of dealing is not correct in life. In addition, they have a fun personality that makes people approach them. They are ready to make friends very quickly, but they do not think much before they speak, which makes them get into trouble easily.

12- Sitting and fixing the feet:

The seated person is calm without movement. This position indicates that the person is very organized and shows great interest and punctuality, and they do not like people who are late for their appointments. In addition, they have a strong and solid personality, and they are able to face the problems they face in life; thus, criticism directed at them is often considered a personal attack, so they immediately begin to defend themselves with high self-confidence.

13- Sitting diagonally: 

We find the person leaning in their sitting to one side to the right or to the left. This often indicates instability and calmness. It  also refers that this person loves to take adventures and loves challenges, betting, and gambling. They are always motivated and seek success in their adventures. However, if the person is sitting leaning back, this indicates that they are very cautious and want to watch the situations that occur in front of them and analyze them accurately without acting, and that they are well aware of the feelings of others and take into account their emotions a lot because they also watch them carefully.

14- Sitting in the center of a seat:

In the case that the person is sitting on a chair or sofa and not on a single chair, then this sitting position indicates that the person is very confident and bold. This is because they sit wherever they want without thinking much about it, and they are also in various aspects of their lives doing what they want without hesitation. Also, they often  can easily form relationships and friendships.

15- Sitting with feet wide apart: 

This position indicates that the person has a love of controlling all the matters in their lives, even the things that they have nothing to do with.

16- Sitting in a lying posture:

Whether lying on the ground or on a chair, this position suggests that the person is exhausted, very tired, and unable to move either, which makes them a somewhat unique personality, willing to isolate from others, and be alone. This is because they do not trust others and do not care about their opinions of them, so we find them little involved in society.

17- Sitting and feet rebounding: 

We find a person moving their legs constantly and tensely. This indicates that it is a person who wants to achieve what they want very quickly. They lack patience although they are diligent in their lives and struggle for success, but they want it immediately.

18- Sitting on the ground:

If the person prefers to sit on the floor while the people in front of them sit on chairs or sofas, this indicates great humility and childish character. Of course, this happens in family sessions or with friends, that is, with people who do not feel embarrassed in front of them.

The manner of sitting can also be linked to the human character as follows: 

1. Irritable character:

This character is distinguished by sitting on the edges of the seat with a slight forward leaning. This position expresses the person's anxiety, insecurity, and lack of confidence in the people in front of them or their distrust of their ideas that they present. They are often quick to make decisions and act on situations that anger them without thinking deeply, and this is what causes them problems.

2. Confident character:

This character tends to sit with the back attached to the chair in such a way that the body is relaxed and the elbows rest on the chair's armrests.It indicates that the person is completely relaxed and not tense, and their relief can be noticed immediately. Also, they are confident in themselves, but this description does not apply if the person extends their feet forward because this position indicates their contempt and disdain for those in front of them.

3. Assertive character:

It is the person who sits straight with the hands on the armrests of the chair or one hand over a hand. We see that a lot of managers and employers sit this way, which makes us feel their seriousness.

4. Tired character:

We notice that a tired person sits in a position where the shoulders are relaxed downward and the arms are also extended to the sides of his body, while the feet are extended forward.

5. Introverted character:

The introverted person who wants to isolate themselves sits with a slumped body with closed shoulders. This indicates their inability to adapt to the environment.

6. Character who is suspicious of others:

What distinguishes this character is that they sit and extend their right foot in the opposite direction, and they are unable to deal with others because of their lack of confidence in them.

7. The quiet character:

This character can be known through their lack of movement, so they stay the longest time in the same sitting position. Therefore, they suggest calm and gentleness to others.

8. The adventurous character: 

It is the opposite of a completely calm character. It can be known from a lot of movement, so it cannot be prolonged sitting on the chair, but they are trying to find out where they are.

In conclusion:

Sitting is an integral part of our normal day and is not restricted to a specific place. Many of us spend most of our time sitting. This is what is imposed on them by the nature of their work, so your understanding of the personality of the person in front of you will become easier after you know the significance of each of the sitting positions.

It is necessary to pay attention to the way you sit when you go to a job interview or an important date, and not just your appearance or the way you speak as some people think, to gain the trust and admiration of the other party from the first interview. Understanding what your sitting postures mean can also help you understand your personality and adjust your posture if you don't want others to misunderstand you.
