In a word....yes.
Writing one is great and is a great creative outlet for you personally. Â But RPing in a game is about establishing relationships with others and interacting with them. Â That means being somewhat socialable.
 A back story is great but after you reveal it over the campfire or the tavern over a night of drinks then what?  Find out what kind of personality you have and your flaws to get a good idea of how you will interact with others.  This is what really will give you the in road to good lasting RP.
Back stories good for you not necessarily good for RP with others.
