...Maybe too much. Am I strange?

I tend to play ONLY using barred chords (I find them comfortable to play), sometimes I may not get every note clean everytime but most are (it sounds ok to me and i can get away with focusing on those that are clean). I only venture down to the open positions when the song really demands it or I force myself to out of guilt. Is this a bad habit? Can anyone advise on potential problems with this.

I think barre chords give a little more control of the sound between chords? If I'm playing open chords... I have to worry about muting the strings not used on the next one?

Not that I'm great at barre chords anyhow
