Yeah, I have an L desk at work, so I recline my chair to rest against the short end of the L, with the long part of the L to my left, which I then rest my laptop on. I then have a second chair which I put my feet on. All in all, it's an excellent setup.

Wow, 40 points and a few splinter comments, not expecting that. Thanks!

Bingo. Also, drawing inspiration from your comment, I now propose "Reddhead" as a nickname for all Reddit aficionados like ourselves.

[–]boss1000 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nah, he probably is. A friend of mine I lived with freshman year of college liked to wear a tail when we went out to eat. I didn't think much of it, though I made the furry connection soon after. Meh, I don't care what your fetish is. In fact, it's cool that you're open about it.

But I can totally buy that doing something like that can make you feel good about yourself. It's squashing those social norms and flaunting something different. Strange looks from random strangers feed your enthusiasm for the quiet rebellion.

Edit: It's the same reason I sometimes wear a cape I was given around campus. It's fun!

My friend whenever he plays Video Games he starts out sitting normally, then he ends up with his legs folded indian style, then he moves into layding down with his legs folded. Then he moves into being upside down, with his legs contorted, then moves against the wall with his legs going up the wall upside down half contorted, I always walk in on him like WTF Are you doing!? and he's like It's comfy!

I always sit either cross-legged, or some other pose with both feet on my chair. There is no other comfortable way to sit for me, other than reclined with both feet up or almost lying down.

I do the thing where I bunch my legs up in front of me and rest my shins on the computer desk so I can type and mouse around them. Then I get those lovely purple lines across my shins that take a few hours to disappear.

I could believe it is subconsciously relating to being in a womb. Many (all?) babies love being swaddled, starting immediately at birth, and that is probably because being wrapped up tightly reminds them of that familiar comfort/safety.

It is called the fetal position, after all.

[–]qkoexz 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, I think you meant fetal. Fellatio is when a statement or idea is not true.

[–]canondocre 183 points184 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

One of the explanations for this, sitting positions of poor posture, is that when you sit in a way that puts strain on muscles/joints/ligaments, especially areas where you have chronic pain, it temporarily releases some endorphins (which relieves pain) because you are further injuring yourself. Naturally this wears off rather quickly, your posture is worse, and you become 'uncomfortable' again so you sit in an even dumber position. I noticed this when my doctor pointed out the importance of good posture as I have a really bad back. And I still notice it now when I'm sitting at my computer, and my back is getting bad, and I'm stuffing one of my feet underneath my ass and leaning at a 45 degree angle like its a good fucking idea.

I was doing this too, sort of - though my weird posture of choice is sitting on my left foot (left knee pointing forward) with my right foot on the chair (right knee pointing up). I was doing this when I read your post and decided I'd better unfold myself.

I don't know where I read it, I think on the bbc, but I remember an article that said people who slouch in straight-backed chairs actually tend to have better backs. They said something about how slouching in your chair actually reduced the pressure at the base of your spine and distributed it more evenly.

Edit: Bam. Found the article.

My physical therapist suggested using an ergonomic kneeling chair. She let me try one at the office for a bit, it was significantly more comfortable than an office chair. I find office chairs are usually 20% bigger than they need to be simply because they're made to fit all people between 5'-7' and 100-300lbs.

Amazon has one for $80.

Totally in my bed, slipping slowly into a surprisingly similar position.

Most of my weight is on my feet right now, with my legs tucked up against my chest and my chin resting on my knees. It's my usual position. This submission and the ensuing comments make me feel less like a weirdo.

I always lay on my bed, stomach down, with my laptop on my night-side table.

Me. I used to have OP's problems, but then I solved them by getting substantially fatter. Now I can only sit properly. Anything else is much too hard to maintain.

Good to know I'm not the only one who will be suffering from horrible back issues when I'm in my 60's.

I'm 18 and I'm suffering from horrible back issues. A lot of that has to do with scoliosis, but at least some of it is because I spend half my day in a chair with shitty posture.

I don't plan on living when my body finally gives out and is crippled to fuck. My plan is to get a donor card and figure out a nice clean way to end things that is also awesome and makes me feel a little bit like a half crippled action hero.

I don't plan on living IN my body when it finally gives out. My hope is that by the time I'm 100 there will be other options!

Aim to do it in a hospital or all your delicious organs might go to waste.

[–]Pas__ 1 point2 points ago

Just prepare a lot of ice and steril bags so the lucky first responders can harvest the delicious organs real quick. Before the ambulance gets there.

If you have degenerative disc disease or herniated lumbar discs then sitting like this is more comfortable for you than sitting with "good posture". The reason is that when you pull your legs up against your chest you are causing the intervertebral space to widen. This takes pressure off of discs and spinal nerves and eases pain associate with the aforementioned conditions.

I spoke to an actual, professional physical therapist recently(due to a herneated disk). She said this is incorrect.

It's entirely practical. Just replace the chair with a bean bag. And the monitor with something big and low-res enough to be read from a distance away (I suggest projection).

Same here. That's why I said "fuck a desk" and started using my laptop while laying in bed.

I'm actually doing that right now. It's the best/worst decision I've ever made

Oh god, This is one time when I seriously thought I was the only one. I sit in the oddest ways and I always imagine people must think I'm really weird, but I just can't get comfortable otherwise.

[–]markio 3 points4 points ago

That's because ultimately we are always trying to get back to our fetal position where all of our needs are taken care of...

that's the state we yearn for the most, infancy...

I always sit cross legged at my computer. If I buy a new computer chair I make sure there is room for my knees under the arm rests.

It was torture for a couple of years, I had aching knees and sitting cross legged would hurt them so I actually had to put my feet on the floor in front of the chair. So glad I got my knees healthy again and can sit in my natural position.

Fetal position!

I like to sit cross-legged and then lean forward on my forearms. People give me the most gloriously strange looks.

Isn't the body's natural position the fetal position? if you're balling up then yes you are getting to the fetal position

[–]gandalfthegreen 1 point2 points ago

Woah that's pretty crazy, because I read that and at first though "that doesn't make sense I would never roll into a ball when on the computer that's just not practical", then I realized I was actually subconsciously doing it. It could be that its a mechanism of our natural fetal position that we still instinctively revert to from childhood.

I always sit with my knees up, preferably where I can rest my elbows on them. I sit like this everywhere except restaurants, my friends always pull me an extra chair they call "foot chair" so I can put my feet on it and pull my knees up. I find it very comfortable, but it does make tying awkward.

My primary computer also acts as the brains of my home theater, so when I want to use it for long periods, I pull a chair up to the TV and put a table next to the chair for the mouse. I inevitably end up in the same positions, except without the falling. It's kind of glorious.

Wow. This is the first time where I've honestly thought I was the only one. Sometimes even I think I'm crazy for sitting in this position because it's not even that comfortable, but I know that if I sit up right I'll just slink back down so I might as well stay like that.

My chiropractor would punch me in the face if she saw my natural sitting position. Or maybe just rub her hands together realising how she's got a client who will always be good for business.

Either way, while discussing this picture with a friend, I moved from a normal sitting position, to kneeling on my chair, to putting my legs up on the desk without even being conscious of my actions. Stupid body!
