Do you think adult Barbie/figure collectors are weird?

I'm asking because I'm nearly 18 and have 3 Barbies... the reason why is because I have a counsellor due to self esteem issues, anyway one day I told her a story about Barbies when I was younger to illustrate how I felt about myself - I had all blonde Barbies and one day my mom (shes white I'm black) bought me a black Barbie which I just despised because I hated myself and that I was different from my family and my community and didn't want to be black, so I gave it away as soon as I got it. When I told her the story my counsellor suggested I go buy a black Barbie to symbolize that I accept myself now, which I did and I liked it... so I went and bought two more and now I'm thinking of collecting them. I don't sit around and play with them obviously lol but I do like having them... I'm just wondering if people (friends, family, boyfriends) will think it's weird or creepy. Thanks :)
