Upvoted because I am actually sitting like that right now.

It's so incredibly comfy isn't it. I usually slowly slump into the position over the course of an hour, I start to wonder why my typing skills have suddenly regressed to that of a 3 year old and I realise its because my head is lower than my keyboard.

Same here, I find my self reaching over the table and hitting indivdual keys like a monkey.

i do this all the time but am trying to stop because i have a lot of lower back pain now. only 21 :(

[–]Egregiou5 6 points7 points ago

As a previously 21 year old with lower back pain, I recommend you start using a lumbar support. It's done wonders for my back.

[–]issius 2 points3 points ago

You should lift weights and build your back muscles up to prevent problems down the road. It'll also improve your posture.

[–]Egregiou5 0 points1 point ago

This is a great tip, and anyone with a bad back should heed it.

[–]je-june 1 point2 points ago

yeah that's what the doctor told me. i'm trying to fix my posture, but it's so unnatural and uncomfortable for me now. been going to some yoga classes too. it's tough because i am always in front of the computer... even at work.

Its given me stretch marks from sitting so wrong :l

[–]ribbitimafrog 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

If you're having lower back pain it might actually be how you're standing. I used to do this thing where I would kinda stick my bum out, and it used to give me shocking lower back pain.

Try tilting your hips forward - the opposite of sticking your ass out. Hope it helps :)

goddamit, internet! look what you did! ( same here, dude. only 22 )

It's called the Fetal Position, and it is your body's instinctive position.

[–]Stryker88 7 points8 points ago

After a few minutes on the computer I end up sitting like a Yarl.

This is exactly right. It is comfortable to bend our body inwards, bringing your knees to your chest. I'm not entirely sure if it is more about biology or psychology, though.

[–]Pelycan 5 points6 points ago

Happens to me all the time.

[–]JonnehxD 1 point2 points ago*

I always end up with my legs on the chair somehow.. or one up on my desk.. or one propped up on my closet door ~2ft away.. sometimes both of the last two.

[–]k911238 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This happens to me everyday. Even at work :(

Chair design needs to change.

[–]Soonermandan 1 point2 points ago

And then it hurts soooooo bad to sit back up.

I am currently sitting with my legs crossed, and on the desk. How did that even happen?

[–]alexkitsune 1 point2 points ago

Upvote because I'm doing the same exact thing.

I always get uncomfortable when I read reposts.

[–]powerspank 0 points1 point ago

Okay, there are two other identical posts on Reddit and I searched both, but could not find the source.

Could someone point me in the general direction of this comic?

This was funny the first time it was on the front page, must be funny the second time, right?

i have a milk crate under my desk I cross my legs on it, and slump down in my char so my head and neck are on the top bit of the chair.

[–]Twigkid 0 points1 point ago

My posture has suffered greatly because of this habit...

[–]fearlessly 0 points1 point ago

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

I sit with my legs curled under me so tightly that it makes the muscles in my hips ache, as well as my knees ache.

You'd think I'd just...not...sit like I do since it leads to pain, but apparently I don't learn. Yay.

[–]Qender 0 points1 point ago

I want to know why there's a comic about me! I always sit like that, even at work. AND HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES MYSELF WITH BROWN HAIR DO THAT IN BRIGHT RED PANTS AND A BLACK SHIRT?

I'm that guy

I end up cross legged for hours... it hurts after one. I just fall into it. Any way to avoid this subconscious move?

[–]mvhsbball22 0 points1 point ago

Is it possible to design a chair/desk/any kind of work area that addresses what many people have pointed out in this thread: namely, that humans' natural position is the fetal one?

I didn't find anything with a (admittedly quick) google search. I can sort of see one in my head, but I'm not sure whether its design is feasible.

[–]Paultimate79 0 points1 point ago

Looks like you find being on your back with your legs spread your natural bodies position?

I always do this when I'm in the passenger seat of a car. The dashboard of my poor boyfriend's car is so dirty...

I usually do this whem I'm watching a video or reading domething long. It doesn't work so well when playing games.

Am I the only one that does this slumping forward instead of backwards?

Im basically laying on my desk.

[–]spases 0 points1 point ago

the same. it's not comfortable at all, and it messes with my circulation and makes stuff numb. sitting any other way is hosh posh though.

[–]Raneados 0 points1 point ago

every time I see this, I feel I've seen it before in drawing form, and I want to say it's stolen from that, but I just don't know!

i always thought it was from Natasha Allegri, but man i super can't remember nor find it

Was sliding down my chair with my legs propped up against the wall higher than my head when I saw this.

The body's "natural" position is the fetal position. This has been confirmed by astronauts sleeping in space unrestrained.

I came to think it's about managing blood flow so that you restrict blood flow in your limbs where its not needed and direct it basicly to your brain using gravity and pressure with the least effort.

This happens to me in work as well :(
