Does anyone else have trouble feeling judged for your collection?

I just recently started collecting when the creeproductions came out so it was the first time my exteneded family saw my collection. They are super open minded and didn't say anything or even act weird about it but I can't get rid of the feeling that they probably think I'm weird, especially since I'm an adult man. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there a way to stop feeling ashamed? I know the whole point of MH is to be yourself but it's hard sometimes.
