"A la gente le gusta que seas algo, preferiblemente lo que ellos son"

Simplified Meaning:

People often want you to act or be similar to them. It's because it makes them feel comfortable and reassured. Think about a time when you joined a new group or club. If everyone in that group loves playing soccer, they will be happier if you also show interest in soccer. They may even try to encourage you to play, so you all share the same hobby. This happens in many aspects of life. For example, if your friends usually stay up late, they might pressure you to stay up late too, even if you prefer to go to bed early. It’s not that they want to be mean; it’s just that having similar habits makes them feel more connected to you. Remember, it’s okay to be yourself. You don't always have to do what others do just to fit in. Over time, they might respect your choices and you might even teach them something new. So, stay true to who you are, and don’t feel pressured to change just to be liked.
