I have been trying to stop slouching so much but sitting with good posture hurts my shoulders and neck worst than slouching does.

I slouch all the time and can give a rats ars about it. Add being old, fat, ugly and un-intelligent helps explain why I’m still single. wave

Slouching can mean many things.

The photos you posted in your other thread of attractive young women slouching sends a body language message: it says this person is relaxed and uninhibited. They're not being self-conscious about their body. It gives off a message of confidence and openness. It's appealing and open.

Slouching can also send off other messages and can be indicators of other states of mind: hunched shoulders can indicate anxiety, or fear. Rounded shoulders with head cast down can indicate defeat, or a burden as in 'carrying a weight on their shoulders'.

A while back I worked with a manager who couldn't cope with the slightest confrontation over practical issues, as if everything was a personal criticism. His posture reminded me of a frightened whippet, back curved all the way down his spine, legs bent and tail tucked under. Every fibre of his being seemed to speak this message of avoidance.

If certain emotions, or mindsets are habitual, the connected body language may become habitual, too. Once a posture becomes a habit, muscles and bones will develop to maintain that position.

To stop habitual slouching, not only do you have to work against how your muscles and bones have adapted, but you need to resolve the mindset behind the posture in order to maintain it.

It kind of works both ways: gaining confidence, for example, helps you stand tall, but standing tall also helps with feeling confident.

And guys with big moobs love their slouch look because doing push ups and jumping rope just don’t help anymore. Jac

I believe slouching can cause many negative health reactions including your breathing. It is something I try not to do also. wave
