The Comfort Paradox: Why It Feels Good at First
Here’s the part people miss: crossing your legs can feel stabilizing—initially.
It can “lock” you into a position that demands less active muscle work for a while.
Common Reasons It Feels Easier

- Lower back relief (short-term): the position can unload certain muscles temporarily.
- Security reflex: some people naturally cross limbs when they feel exposed, stressed, or simply “on display.”

Because the longer you hold it, the more your body pays for that convenience.
