I've never known why, but I can't rationalize criticism against something I hold close. Most people let criticism roll off cause they can offer an alternative; a counterpoint. I hyper-focus much too hard on such things that it can promote inactivity and increased hesitation.

Even worse, I start wondering if the criticisms are specifically about a particular subject or if those same criticisms could be recycled and used against other brands as well.

I envy sharp minds and quick wits cause they're capacity for rational thought isn't suspended automatically when they hear a dissenting opinion. They aren't taken over by clickbait and the like.

If there is a clinical condition which describes my state of "thinking", I'm not aware of it.

Honestly, this is a state of mind I find myself in fairly often myself. I'm not sure if there is much I can do to help but I just want you to know you aren't alone.

Here's the reality though, there is legit a breed of person out there who just hates the newest thing in their favorite franchise and will jump through hoops to justify it. Their arguments are ultimately meaningless and interchangeable, they will hate the thing regardless. Let's look at Star Wars for example, specifically the sequel trilogy. In those films folks argue that Snoke was killed off too early, yet if he was kept around to the last film we'd have those same people moaning that Snoke being around made the plot too much like the Return of the Jedi. There is no winning with those people, full stop, as THEY are the irrational one. There is nothing wrong with you for being unable to engage with the people who exist solely to tear down the things you enjoy. They are the ones with the problem.
