Unfortunately with that creativity, often comes aduration from fans which the creative person finds difficult to accept. Imagine for example you've been abused all your life so you write great song lyrics and then everyone suddenly loves you... that's difficult to cope with if you've never got to the place of even liking yourself in the first place.
That's also a good point. I should probably clarify I didn't mean for this to be like a "hate on Fiona" thread or anything like that. I just sort of felt like she was the only one who could possibly illustrate this weird thing I'm trying to talk about. Either way, I suppose it could probably be a combination of things...
