Not quite as misunderstood as I'd prefer, but I'm still working on it.

A little of both, which I think can probably just be chalked up to the whole
Communications 101 thing: we may know exactly what we're saying, but that
doesn't mean people hear us in the same way we mean for them too.
> are you highly creative?
Disgustingly so ... which is constantly at battle with my rational side. No
wonder I'm such a whacko.

There's no answer to that, Zero. It's highly subjective.
> are you stubborn?
Hell yes.
> are you stupid?
In some ways I am, which pisses me off like you can't believe. I have a
nonexistent sense of direction, so I have to memorize streets and landmarks
in order to get where I need to go. I and often forget where I park my car
in parking lots. I mean, how dumb is that? But I compensate for it by
reciting my exact location as I'm leaving the parking place. I must do this
out loud, as thinking it doesn't work. Yes, I get weird stares, but who
cares?

there's also people who just don't have the capacity to understand.
analogies can only go so far.

you consider creativity to always be in conflict with rationality?
that's an odd thought.

well, yeah, i guess so.

yes there is.
creativity is well-understood by some, somewhat understood by others,
and not understood at all by most.
> It's highly subjective.
sometimes.
