Asslamuwalaikum,

I am Irshad. I was a very frank person. Also my zodiac sign is Gemini and it is said that Gemini are talkative. But someone said silence is better according to Islam and I became very silent. Now I feel like speaking, doing masti with my collegues but I just stop myself for cause of Islam. I feel if I speak I might go beyond boundaries.This made me more reserved and I started going away from people. I don't like to share anything with them. My facial expressions also do not remain normal. It changes to something to which people feel I am rude but I am not. It may be because I don't laugh much as it is is said if we laugh loud our heart gets hard. So my facial musscles don't get exercised. Also I have become very emotional in this way. Leaving in this way is coming between me and my relationship and career. I do agree that Islam is important but I don't understand how far I should remain in this manner. I am unable to understand how to deal with this situations. Please help.
JazakAllah for your kindness.

brother.

First of all please refrain from looking at astrology under zodiac signs. Its clearly prohibited in Islam. Stars has nothing to do with our future or charecter.

Now to the main issue, being silent is a good thing, but timing is important. Don't stop interacting with people, its the word that come out of our mouth is important. Also Smiling is a good thing. Being silent doesn't mean one has to be rude, we have to behave with compassion. I won't advice much, because i myself am struggling with making my charecter good. I guess it takes time and effort to learn good behaviour. Keep up the good work bro, just remember to take the middle path. And don't forget to stop following horoscopes .
