Maybe you shouldn't feel bad about this, you're not always hurting feelings. If I'm using an open source project and I need something changed, I'll usually just make the change and put the new code online, because I think that's how open source is supposed to work. Others can now benefit from my change. I'll also make a PR to the original project. But I don't mind if it's rejected. I made the changes for myself. If you can use the changes, fine. If can't, also fine.
