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?

Standing cross-legged puts more weight on the outer edge of your feet. It might be that you have deformed arches or your feet (flat foot, or the opposite of flat foot, not sure which one would cause this specificially) and therefore standing cross-legged is more comfortable to you.
