Is being an otaku bad or something

Ok today I'll talk about something kinda of personal for some people.Is being an otaku bad because every time I tell someone its like I'm coming out the closet or something.And now I'm like the outcast of my school(I've always been that way).Usually I wouldn't care but I can't seem to get it out of my head it just aggrivates me.I suppose thats its because I've never been confronted with this up in person like a few days ago.This will not be the last time I talk about this so please leave comments tell me what you think about this.Is being an Otaku bad(its not in my eyes).
