You do not want to be friends with someone who would dislike you if they knew the truth. You want to be friends with someone who accepts you for you. Be yourself, but if you want it to be less obvious that you are gay, then don't hold your wrist limply when you talk. Don't speak with a gay accent. Don't walk femininely, and don't use stereotypically gay expressions such as, "Like, oh my god" and so on. Avoid sexual conversation, because if you try to say like, "Damn she's hot." it'll probably be obvious that you're not genuinely interested in the girl you're talking about. Don't bring up guys either, though. In fact, don't bring up homosexuality at all. Maybe being gay is new to you, but once you get used to it, you'll stop thinking about it constantly like you probably do now. I can go an entire day at work without thinking about my homosexuality once. Just focus on the conversation(s) you are having with your peers, and don't think about what they would say if they knew the truth. If you aren't friends with them, they don't need to know. You don't need to flaunt it, but if someone asks if you are, you can either say that it's none of their business, or you can simply say 'yes'. In truth, it isn't any of their business, but if you say that, it's kind of obvious that you are.
