I tend to agree/think the same way, Jax.

Someone just told me the other day "You're funny as [heck] when you're not all worried about what others think." And you know what? She's was/is totally right. So I get what you're talking about when you say insecurity causes you to act differently than what your true nature is. IMO, I believe there is a correlation between being true to oneself and being what they call "self-actualized". OK, I'm done rambling, but I found your statement to be kinda profound at any rate.
