Default hi! :)

Hi!
My name is Simon, i'm from italy and i'm an 18 years old gay teen. I live in a very little town in the centre of italy. I'm a shy guy most of the time spending time alone just thinking even though I have some really cool friends that care about me and stuff like that, they don't know about my sexual orientation even though they keep joking about me being gay but I have always pretend like they did not say it couse I never felt like coming ou to the even when a friend of mine came out in class....I saw how they reacted, and how they keep acting like usual...never mind, I'll explain it better in another thread...

I have been thinking about coming out to them becouse I am certain about the fact that their answer would be something like "O yeah? I told ya! That's no surprise for me! I have been telling you that you are for 5 years now!"
Only one of my dearest friends knows about me, at first it was all right but we got apart after I got out of Italy for a month and could not talk to her that much...

Well, I know this introduction sucks, intros are not something I ak good at...I work better with colors, pencils and canvas!
I found this site Googling about coming out stories and now here I am introducing myself...well I think that I have finally found a place where I can really be myself and talk with somebody that understand me and that might have had my own problems and that can help me through those...sorry if I wrote that much
P.S. sorry if there are some mistake, like I said i'm Italian!
