Its sort of sounding like somebody got irritated with your creative process when you were a kid, and now you’re trying to reconcile that with other people being allowed to emote and create “for no reason”.
Someone seeing a banal object, devoid of story and history and just merely existing, and then succumbing to emotions over loose connections to human characteristics is what I don’t relate to.
Seeing creativity as “succumbing to emotions” sounds like you think its a bad thing that your parents told you not to do.
Like, I struggle with traditional writing, but I make miniature dioramas. It’s occasionally unprompted; I recently bought frozen shrimp and thought the lid was sorta window-shaped, so now I’m making it into a window seat for a 1:12 scale treehouse library diorama. I wasn’t planning the diorama first, the whole scene came to mind unbidden, and now I’m making it.
I feel like it’s the same thing as what you’re describing, but I don’t know if you see it as different or not.

Do you have unprompted creativity in other areas?
