Is it hard to think critically about something you love?

I think it is. We often tend to be partial when we have to judge or find flaws in something we love. Most of the times, we create reasons and explanations to satisfy ourselves that what we love is always right.

yes. it is. it is also difficult, if not impossible entirely, to be objective. although I do not know your exact situation, I can tell you it is very human and entirely natural to feel unsure or hesitant. stay strong. reach out to people wherever you can. handling things alone only makes them tougher

It is very hard, yes! Naturally, you'll want to avoid anything negative about what it is you love, because frankly, you love it. But it is important to try and see both the good and bad in all things.

It can be difficult to critically view something you care about. You will have a general bias towards it and will focus more on the positive aspects. However, if you are aware of your bias you can recognize it and try to view it fairly.

Yes, I believe so because it involves a lot of emotions. And where you're clouded with intense emotions we sometimes can't think objectively. What we need to do is to brush aside all those intense emotions and focus o what is it you want to achieve.

if you love something or someone then for your own sake you will have to prove what you are thinking critically off. if you 'have any evidence of it then you are giving your hope into something without knowing the truth.

I think it is hard to think that way. It's because you are wanting to think simply or passionately, so it doesn't make sense and sometimes it hurts to think that way.

Sometimes it is hard becuase you may love them so much that you overlook their faults. You may only see positives or think that their actions are acceptable becuase they love you or you love them. In that case you should take a step back and think of them through an outsider's perspective. Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone unrelated and see if you are able to see clearly and objectively then. However, if you are unable to, don't be dissapointed because loving someone is a good thing and you can always ask for someone ele's perspective on the matter.

Sometimes, especially at the beginning of the relationship, we tend to leave the reason behind and see no flaws in our partners. However, as the relationship develops, and we learn more about each other, discover the other's and our own flaws, it becomes easier to look with the more critical and sensible eye at our beloved. Nobody is perfect, a lot of us, especially with BPD, tend to idolise our partners. And sometimes this may end up badly. But, I think, we're all more or less reasonable creatures and can think critically about our loved ones. It may be harder with the things we love, though. Especially, and I'm not being facetious here, you actually love learning how to think critically!

Yes, emotion has a weight on reason, which is that on what one would lean to critical thought. Furthermore, we're talking about something you love - emphases on love. I don't think it is impossible to do so, but i'd also take in count what Nietzsche said, paraphrasing: "Love is a state on which one sees things as they are not". I think it would depend greatly on the power the emotions and the mental and physical arousal that "love" creates in someone; the anemic power something incite us with is proportional with the difficulty to think critically about it.
