The people who'll appreciate and tolerate your MVP, are a very small subset of your target market that have serious pains to address and/or substantial gains to be made.
Unless you are solving your own problem, and have pains/gains that strongly match with that small subset you will be struggling on the wrong beachhead. You are likely to solve an aspect of the wider problem but with little chance of getting much further.
If you don't listen to people you'll need to be very lucky with loyal supporters, or a very rare visionary with incredible talent and commitment.
People generally won't or don't reveal their deep pains and needs (gains) until you probe and engage in direct research through conversation.

I guess the real problem is how to find these small group of potential passionates for your mvp
