It's fear blended with a serious dose of inability. It's like not being able to relate to the level of devotion and brilliance of a symphony conductor, so common critics or observers dismiss him as "temperamental" or "eccentric" or "pretentious," and wait eagerly for him to make a single mistake.
And I will assert that a symphony conductor couldn't care less what a common critic thinks of his work.
