Summary

This quote suggests that when a person conforms to societal expectations and norms, they may be well-liked by others. However, the ultimate consequence is that they might lose sight of their own individuality and desires.

Ultimately, the quote implies that the price one pays for conformity is a loss of self-fulfillment and authenticity.
