4 Red Flags to Look Out for in a Gemini
We can all agree that no one's perfect, every person has their own little flaws and mini red flags hidden somewhere, so as each zodiac sign. While astrology isn't a manual for how someone will act 24/7,it gives us little hints on this person's personality, and today we're diving into the ever-so-confusing yet charming ,Gemini. Although they have many traits that make them their special selves, sometimes there are some traits that are'nt quite like what you expected. Let's explore some red flags to look out for in a Gemini (even if they're your favorite air sign). They say one thing and do another This one is pretty obvious if you're in a relationship with a Gemini. Geminis aren't liars, but their perspectives and decisions change in the blink of an eye, and they often get too affected by others' opinions. These actions can make it hard to keep up with them. They get bored way too easily Most of us inevitably have certain routines in our lives that may not always be boring, but with Geminis, that's not always the case. They want to switch things up quickly, they hate sticking to regimes They're a rollercoaster of emotions When Katy Perry sang 'cause you're hot and you're cold', she definitely meant a Gemini. One day, they're all lovey-dovey, and the next day, they are radio silent. It's not that they don't love you; they're probably just overstimulated and taking some time alone. They love to gossip Let's be real, who doesn't love a little tea? Most of us enjoy hearing a bit of gossip from time to time. With Geminis, however, they love to know all that's new, because their curiosity always gets the best of them. This tendency can turn into oversharing, especially if boundaries aren't set.
