Is it hard to think critically about something you love?

From my own experience, I think critically about the things I love when I am questioning myself. I don't want to be blindly in love with something or someone, I need to reassure myself that they have flaws, and that I need to be okay with that. If I'm not, then I am not in love with them, I am in love with the idea of them.

Personally don't love a lot of things. Therefore it is easier to take the time to think about things which do mean dear to me. It does take a good deal of will and courage when judging something that you love which is why it can be scary and often overlooked. Overall I think that love is weird and things take time so it can be hard. :P

Yes. It becomes hard to criticise anything/anybody that you love/like. It’s because of your belief in that thing. Breaking up a pre-notioned belief is very difficult thus it becomes hard to criticise it.

I'm not a perfectionist, but I guess you can say I'm cynical. Doesn't matter if it's something I love, like Cinema Sins says, nothing is without sin.

It’s not hard, it’s a part of being human. Thinking critically means you care for the thing that you love.

love is simple yet complex. it's very intricate yet it is also very simple. from the experiences I've had, love is something that's very personalized and no one can speak for the other. i believe that you can decipher this only when you find out the meaning of that specific person/ object to you.

It doesn't hurt to get an objective second opinion. Sometimes, in the case of addiction it can be hard to separate what is healthy and what is compulsive. I'd find a good friend to ask about it.

I think you always know the downside of even something/ someone you love but you overlook it hoping things will be better. Anyway love covers a multitude of sin.

Absolutely! I find it's very difficult for me to think critically because when I love something, I don't want to see the flaws or faults in it too much since I worry it might "ruin" what makes the thing I love so much. I also find that thinking critically can be quite challenging since there's so many potential angles you can think critically from! Depending on what you're criticizing, or why you're criticizing something can also make it varying levels of difficult. So for me, I struggle a lot with this. :( I'd love to get better about it though.

Yes, it can be hard to think critically about something that you love. Often your love or passion for something can cloud your judgement a little bit and it can become difficult to find flaws in these things. This can be caused by your positive experiences or your feelings of love. Sometimes your emotions can cloud your judgements. But remember that this is completely normal. All humans are susceptible to emotions. This is what makes us human. If you want some help thinking critically about something, getting a trusted person's experience could help especially if they don't share the same kind of connection with the thing.
