Nobody Likes an Innovator

At least until the innovation is useful to them.
Can't say much, but let's just say I had an idea recently that I have good hopes for, but some people I've shared it with are lukewarm to it, or outright dismissive and insulting to it. Doesn't discourage me though, since I've gotten use to such attitudes from other people.
Stepping back though, I am sure my experiences are not unusual, at least for other creative people. If you know such a creative person, don't be overly critical of their ideas, because their ideas may live up to their hopes instead of down to your doubts. Besides, many of us would prefer we discover if our ideas are bad by trying them.
