Guys, HELP!

Hey guys. To get right down to it, im 19 and gay and havn't told a single person. Im pretty much feeling really horrible about myself and would just love to be able to kick back and hang out with someone who i can say whatever i want to and will understand me. I have pretty much made it clear to my friends that im NOT gay even though I am. That's how scared I am. I just wish that being gay didn't come with all these bad feelings. I feel like a creature or something if you know what I mean. I don't even feel like a human. I know my life is pretty much at a standstill right now. And I also know that people are gonna start wondering why I don't have a girlfriend and why im not even trying to have one. I just want to be happy with who I am and basically need someone to talk to. At this point I feel like I can't even turn to my own best friends because I have tried so hard to make them think im straight. I want my life to begin and it cant because im not being true to myself. I need advice about coming out and how to try and feel better about myself. I have this feeling like the only way i can be who i am is to leave my friends and family and move somewhere far away so they will never know that im gay. Its just really starting to bug me now and im feeling pretty lonely because I can't talk to anyone. Honestly, you guys are the only ones I have ever told. But im desperate for help, comfort, and advice. I just want to be me and i can't. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And just for the record, I can't believe I am telling anyone this but I know I have to start somewhere. Thanx a lot for listening! ~Steve~
