Is it hard to think critically about something you love?

Yes - I think that when I am passionate about something it is easy to feel biased towards it or make excuses when it's not working the way I expect.

It can be very challenging to think critically about something we love. Personally, when I feel strongly about something I tend to want to express it, fix it, or deal with it quickly because it matters so much. I've learned that it's true when they say, "fools rush in." Much about life is finding balance and when I feel strong emotions over something it is easy to rush it rather than slow down and think critically.

Yes when you love something you tend to think the person like a God as they are always on your mind but with time this might change and you start to see their flaws. I guess love is blind and can make it hard to look at something critically when you love it.

No, I think everyone is able to think critically about even the things that they love. There can still be negatives about a positive subject. Everything in life can have a positive or a negative, it all depends on perception. We can acknowledge a flaw, and still love the flawed subject.

i find it difficult to judge or think critically about something i love however i break it down to help. i try to think from different perspectives and try to look at it from the point of view of the person/ thing i am thinking critically about to try to develop a better understanding.

Sometimes it really can be hard, but you have to have the common sense inside to tell you differently. You should have some realistic voice/ reason :)

No, I think it can be easy to see the negative side of anything but you can still love it regardless

For me personally, I've struggled trying to think logically and critically about something I loved, especially when it came to relationships. It takes a lot of strength, and for me, an outside person who could take the situation in with fresh eyes and ears.

It's more difficult to think rationally about something or someone you love rather than critically. To be critical about something you love may not always be the best option. Just do what you'd do, follow your brain and then your heart.

It is not really all that hard to think critically about something I love because what is love without constructive criticism? If I love someone, but I never tell them when something is bothering me, they never will know it’s bothering me in the first place, and therefore will never fix it. If they don’t fix it, I will continue to be bothered by it. If it continues to bother me, I won’t want to be around them anymore. My Stepmom always says, “Teach people how to treat you. If you never tell them, they will never know to fix it, and that’s just counterproductive.”
