Depends on how you define nature. Some think that being flip-floppy is a person's nature.... in 99% of cases it isn't it was a survival skill they learned at a young age.

If you desire to be approved of more than be who you are, you won't be true to your nature.

It is extremely hard for people to be true to themselves... hence we have a cause for: drug addiction, psychological issues, criminal actions, etc.

Believe it or not I have a feeling, being true to oneself is a rarity, and one of the hardest things to do.

It's...just...internet...forums
Yes, but lasting friendships and relationships can be started on forums. The only difference between say a forum and meeting these people at the corner pub is we're not face to face, so it can be hard to interpret tone, otherwise, it's pretty much the same. Except, I can't buy the house a drink......
