The shape of your belly button says a lot about you

Your belly button has no function after birth, in fact it is simply a scar left behind after the umbilical cord connecting you to your mother was severed. Maybe that explains why most people do not pay any attention to it. However, the shape of your navel says a lot about your personality, and that’s based on the art of divination known as omphilomancy. Here are the common belly button shapes and what the personality traits they are associated with, according to The Sun.

An outie

A protruding belly button – most common in infants and young children, widening as they grow – signifies strong character, stubborn nature and perseverance. According to womansera.com:

People with this type of navel love being the centre of attention. Relationships of such people last long as they spend enough time looking for a compatible partner.

These people tend to have an average life expectancy of 72 years.

Deep belly button

People who have big and deep navels are often generous, kind and big-hearted, an article in The Sun suggests. They hardly open up and do not like to share their problems with others. They are some of the most empathetic and nice people you will ever meet.

Oval

If your navel is egg-shaped, chances are you are quite vulnerable. You could also be impatient making you get easily fed with things and people. To avoid feeling this way, it is highly likely you like to keep yourself busy doing things you enjoy or trying out new hobbies. People with an oval-shaped navel often do not voice out when someone offends them, hurting themselves in the process.

Wide navel

People whose belly buttons are narrow are thought to be attentive and ready to take on any situation. They do not trust easily, but tend to love and care deeply about the people in their lives. If you have this navel type, you treat people the way you want to be treated, according to womansera.com.
