    Mostly no individual likes to compare themselves with others. Sometimes you may not bother if someone compares you with others, in spite you may take it as a challenge. But, when your beloved one does the same thing then it hurts you a lot. If your boyfriend or girlfriend compares you with others you feel depressed and may cause stress. One never gets new or innovative ideas when one feels stressed. If the same thing continues many times you may not be as creative as before and also may lose your creativity.

Spending more time for them 

 We usually like to spend more time with our loved ones. If we consider the same thing, one will like to spend a long time with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Sometimes knowingly or unknowingly an individual spends maximum time with their friends by doing some actions like unwanted conversations with them, going out for picnics very regularly. Without any reason, we are losing our valuable time by spending time with them.

    If you want to think creatively about something, then first you need to allow some time for that, one may be more creative where they get instant ideas. But some people need a certain time to think and get an innovative idea. Every individual should spend time for themselves and never lose your time by spending more than necessary with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Always Spend time for yourself to come up with new ideas. No one can get back the time that has passed away. So, use time efficiently.

Criticism

    Most of the time criticism by others may lead to a change in your performance in any work.  You feel very happy and try hard to do your best when some of your friends (your boyfriend or girlfriend) encourage you but what if the same person criticizes you. If someone starts criticizing you rather than thinking, you will start overthinking about that.

 You will come out of creativity because of overthinking.

Thinking leads to creativity but overthinking leads to stress. In that case, it does not work out to generate creative ideas( creativity). So, criticism is indirectly leading to loss of creativity or getting rid of creative ideas. Criticizing others is an easy thing but taking that criticism is the hardest thing. 

By filling your mind with the unwanted stuff

 You share a lot of things with your friends (boyfriend or girlfriend) and vice versa. While a conversation is going on, they may talk about a lot of things where most of them are fixed in your mind. Some talks will be useful and give you good information, whereas some conversations or sharing views will be unwanted or useless. Even if their thoughts are good or bad you will be thinking about that.

   Let’s consider a general thing and get clarity about this. suppose how much water can we fill in a bottle of 1000 ml capacity? I know you might be thinking what a silly question this is. Of course, we can only fill the water just up to its capacity, not more than that. The same with your brain, your brain can also hold thoughts to a particular extent based on their capability. You need to fill your brain with thoughts(wanted/necessary) where there will be space for new ideas or imaginations. If there is no chance of thinking, how can you come up with imaginative/new ideas, and be creative? Your boyfriend or girlfriend is filling all the stuff in your mind and not letting you be so creative.

There are a few other reasons how your boyfriend or girlfriend is killing your creativity

   Lack of sleep is also a reason for getting rid of creativity. So, how your boyfriend or girlfriend is being a reason for that. There are many ways you are losing your sleep like late-night conversations or chats with them. Encouraging you to go out for late-night parties along with them and so on, Lack of sleep leads to headaches, stress, etc. In those conditions, you cannot get any creative ideas/thoughts. And sometimes during night parties, you may be consuming alcohol. Too much consumption of alcohol may lead to a loss of creativity.

Some people are very possessive. They don’t let you do the work, where you have to mingle with others or express your thoughts with others. In such cases, you won’t try to think much and be innovative or imaginative for the sake of them. Indirectly they are killing your creativity by their possessiveness.

Conclusion

Overnight conversations and parties make you face a lack of sleep which is also a major reason for killing your creativity.

You can spend time with your boyfriend/girlfriend but whenever you are spending time with them, make sure that you need to divide your time into two halves i.e, you need to spend a certain time for your conversation( wanted/ unwanted) and the other time for seeking ideas from them.
