it's not my nature vs it's not in my nature

Both sentences are correct, but the second is more common. 'It's not my nature' is more general and can refer to any behavior or characteristic that is not typical of the speaker. 'It's not in my nature' is a more specific expression that implies something goes against the fundamental or inherent qualities of the speaker.
