Do you feel comfortable discussing your faith practices with colleagues, or do you keep it private? I have a certain set of colleagues who seem to come up with new questions every time they see me, specifically after I'm back from Salah. It was pretty last month too. While I don't mind answering, sometimes it makes me feel like an outlier and I don't enjoy that. Do you have this problem? How do you usually deal with it?
