Well no, most people don't want to be different but yeah, it sounds like a lot of people are overcompensating on the whole "let's hide that we're gay" thing. Perceptive people will always be able to tell something is up--not necessarily what it is, but definitely that there is something going on.
The only way to deal with that is to somehow come to terms with yourself, I think. That's not to say you have to come out but more like... I don't know, you need to accept it or something.
And everyone is "different" in some way, and feels like they don't belong. There's just varying degrees of that. I know I made being different pretty much like a badge (like goratrix about being proud of being a nerd) only to discover how "human" (i.e. like everyone else) I really am. Which is not to say I'm ordinary or anything but rather that no matter how different we may be or think we are, we are all human and there are some definite commonalities between people.
