I'm slowly realising that people don't like the purposeful artistic choices I make musically. The things that people provide feedback on as areas to improve are always decisions I've made on purpose... It's quite difficult to process cos I'm not going to sacrifice my expression for approval, but that does make me feel like I'm forever going to be unrecognised... and that kinda hurts. Anyone else ever feel like this?

I used to. But I decided awhile back, that I'm doing the music I want to do. Everything I write is to either help me process something or tell a story. Of course I hope others will like it and am open to criticism (I feel that's the only way to improve), but when it comes to 'well I would do it this way, not the way you did it', I look at this way:
I'm grateful enough they cared enough to not only listen to my song, but really took it in enough to think of other ways to write it.
I personally don't think you should ever sacrifice your creative expression for the sake of publicity. I would suggest building off your own style that you already like and find ways to reach the audience that will appreciate your work the way you intended it.
I hope this helps!
