It is because we are overwhelmed with both our love for it and any emotional dependence we form to it.

Sometimes it is and sometimes it is not. In either case you should always try to be critical about things even when you love something. We love things as they are so even if we find a flaw in something we love it doesn't mean that it necessarily wrong to love it.

Of course! Because you have a personal attachment to it, you tend to have a biased view when it comes to the things you love. That isn't a bad thing necessarily! However, it is important to take a step back and reflect if it is causing problems.

Is it hard to think critically about something you love? I would have to answer this question in the general and specific. For me personally, thinking critically is my first line of thought, the first wave of brain chatter. I have more difficulty letting go and experiencing love without a running critical commentary. In general, the ability to feel love and have critical thoughts about the same object is going to greatly vary from person to person.

In a way, yes but no. Is it easy to bring it up and speak on it, oh heck yes. But on the other hand you'll mix your personal feelings with critical thinking. Therefore you can think and speak about something that you love, but it is more of a challenge to critically think about it due to personal feelings.

It can be if you do not know how to separate feelings from rational thought. While some may argue that it is impossible to be completely objective and face facts without our own emotional biases, it is certainly possible to practice taking a step back and thinking critically about something even if you love it.

This really depends on the person's personality. If they're more of a thinking type, then they might have an easier time seeing past their own bias, but if they're more a feeling type then they might have more difficulty.

I think yes, because love can be blind and make you biased, even if it is not direct to a person, but being aware of that helps.

From personal experience , yes and no! it depends on how much bad memories that effected myself have so much outweighed the good.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
