I personally do not recall ever having someone scorn or scoff at me because they thought I was goth. One or two of my friends inquired out of curiosity if I was a goth at some point. I responded that I did not paritucularly care to describe myself as such, but if they felt that way then it did not unduly bother me either. I cannot think of an instance in which I knew about individuals refusing to associate with me on account of my goth-related preferences. This is not to say, of course, that such people did not exist.
In any case, reiterating what many others have stated in this thread, if you feel that you are comfortable in your own skin, then by all means ignore any would-be detractors. Their opinion means precious little, if anything at all.
