Is it hard to think critically about something you love?

I think that often when it comes to the people we love, we tend to see things through rose tinted glasses. We love these people so much that it's hard for us to imagine that they could ever do something wrong. But I know that the people I love aren't perfect and I have the ability to understand when they do something wrong that it is wrong. This, I feel, is especially true for family members and sometimes friends as well. They can mean the world to you, but it often reaches a point where you realize that they aren't all that you want them to be and it becomes easy to think critically about them.

I think that it can be very difficult to think critically about something or someone you love. We have always invested a lot of emotion in the things and people we love, so criticism is not something which comes easily because it questions our judgement in the first place, as well as our commitment to it or them. Balanced criticism requires a pretty neutral viewpoint from where we can weigh up the pros and cons and make a judgement based on them. Because of our emotional investment, any negative criticism can seem to be a betrayal of the person or thing we love, and suspending that feeling and acknowledging that one's evaluation is correct takes a lot of practice. On the other hand, positive criticism, or praise is very straightforward.

Yes ofcourse it can be! When you think about something you love you want to see it through the best lenses that you can! It can be hard to look at it critically, try seeing it from another persons point of view as this can help looking from the outside in and gaining another perspective other than your own. Love is blind and it is so hard to see bad things! Like if someone says bad about a family member you shut them down straight away because you don’t look at the bad in them because you love them so much

Hi; I'm Frostwire. the question you've asked is a very great question, but i must know why you have asked it. Love is an infinite thing like some forms of martial arts. It requires time and interaction with parts of life itself. I must ask myself the question: Is the thing i love worth the time that i put into it? Can the answer be as simple as saying No? Is saying Heck no the wrong way to answer? Is the question a valuable question? Does on need to think about what they love before they answer? Has this question ever been answered with actions that show that one loves something? Again i thank you for reaching out with your question; I'm Frostwire your supporting personnel.

It is hard but when needed you must think in that way. Sometimes its necessary . You may think that oh no i camt do that i love them but you have to sometimes and when you need to you must, be it critically thinking or talking. You must always be ready for any moment in your life. Think about the doctors who have to operate their own relatives. They must be so scared but they do it anyway, right? So you should also not hesistate from doing so, it is hard but yeah when needed you should. Hope this was helpful.

Yes because once you love something/someone, you will ignore their/it's flaws and only focus on the good. Sometimes you may not even see the bad at all, so it's pretty difficult to think critically. But sometimes you do need to take a step back and look at the thing you love critically. The flaws make up the thing/person, it's who they truly are, because to be truthful we're all made up of flaws not one person is perfect. Criticism is not always bad, I know, I hated getting criticism and used to take it negatively but if you think about these critics will improve you as a person and bring out the best in an individual or thing. It's hard, but sometimes it's for the best.

it depends on the person and how they have been feeling lately as each person is unique and is going through different issues in life. loved things hold great value in life and we have to think as critically as possible to ensure that we are rational. for me, it is hard but it may not be for someone else. i suggest that we try to make it as easy as possible as difficult things make us feel less logical and completely stress us out and drain us. so no, i cannot say if it is hard for everyone. it can only be decided by the person

Um, I dont know, its like when we are closed to someone like when we have spend a lot of time, we happen to know them better than we knew before, but its just that we dont want to accept that they are wrong, we are just in denial to protect ourselves because then wed have to think whether its worth staying with them, we are afraid of loosing and more than ever we are afraid to be the one who ends it. We justify everything wrong with but we love them, but they did this for us, but they care about us.

To some circumstances, it is. But everything has flaws. I LOVE food but thinking critically, it has alot of calories. I LOVE to run but the motivation sometimes gets me in this grey zone of me not wanting to get out of bed. I LOVE my significant other but sometimes we have arguments that question why I like him this much when he hurts me. It is all about perspective. I feel like if you're really caught up in the love, it is hard to see it. I know this problem says 'something', but studies have shown that when in love with some significant other, you begin to dismiss flaws that were seen before cause your brain focuses more on why you love that person.

Yes it definitely is hard because you love it so much. But we should make sure that the thinking doesn't get excessive enough that it affects our daily living. That's when it is an issue which needs to be dealt with to keep our normal functioning in tact. For starters, we should try distracting ourselves and slowly you'll learn to live with the thoughts in a better coping way than your usual. We can always give ourselves a second chance at living a more fulfilling and happy life because that is what everyone genuinely desires to be very honest.
