I always sit in w-sitting position and i can also lay like this comfortably, cant sit cross legged because it hurt my ankles. is this bad for me?

Yes: Pain is usually an indicator that something is causing damage to the body. You may have weak ligaments on the outside of the ankles causing the pain. There are other possibilities as well. You should have this evaluated by a physician. It can likely be treated with non-invasive measures (exercise therapy, etc.).
