I have no expectation.
I do, however, get tickled when a non-writer friend is an avid reader and shows interest in what I do. Quite a few do: they're fascinated that I write books. That's always a good thing. But no, I don't expect everyone to feel the same way or even understand what I do is a "real job."
However, the other day a friend said, "Your job seems hard. I can never do it." That makes me feel pretty good -- that what I do is a real job.
