You’re hitting on a couple of different ideas here. In his book “Trust Agents” Chris Brogan talks about “making your own game” as a means of finding what everyone else is doing, and then finding out what works for you. What makes yours stand out.

As creatives, we create because of some inborn need to do so. Oftentimes the people that ridicule us do not actually live to society accept what we did as genius, or groundbreaking. But for the creative mind there is something in each of us that says “If for no one else, I do this for me and the world be damned.”

We know the world may laugh at us, or ridicule, give us the “stink eye”, or what have you. The world is full of critics and cowards who belittle our work. And it is through knowing this that we, as creatives, realize that we have the courage to create, to take that chance. We are just as willing to succeed as we are to fail.

Creativity is a both a blessing and a curse. It is that double edged sword of synapse and soul that exudes from everything we are and everything we do. Sure, we all want to be accpted, loved, and admired for our creativity and our work. It’s just that it never happens as often as we’d like and when it does happen we wonder if that was what we ever truly wanted at all. Or is what we wanted instead just to create?
