It seems that "fuck the masses' is the overwhelming response but I can't write only for myself. or I could, but then I wouldn't need a journal.
As much as I love the random feedback from strangers (and I do, oh absolutely I do, with wildly swinging arms and bubbling laughter, I do) I write for a very small group of people.
I write for cluegirl, fyre_bird, cincodemaygirl you, amanuesis1, myself... . And those people like my wierd stuff, my head-tilt crossovers and God playing Skeeball.
So it's not so much that I don't depend on feedback, because to some extent or another, I think we all do. No response = no audience and if I have no audience there's no reason to write down the lines and the images.
But I've never gotten huge amounts of feedback on anything, so I'm content with one or two people saying, "Damn, you got her voice down, babe." when I write the meandering introspection of a minor character. Or one person whose opinion I value saying "You know I don't particularly like Molly, but you made my heart hurt for her."

And that's enough to keep me going.
