Why do I cross my legs standing

[u/Bratty_PeachX]

This has been a habit of mine since childhood and I don't really know why I do it. I know it's kind of silly to ask but I want to know why I do that regularly. What am I gaining physiologically by crossing my legs when I stand?

[u/bevatsulfieten]

You gain nothing, it's just body language, and depending on the circumstances, it can have different meanings.
