“Lots of people are afraid to do that - to say what they want. So they don't get what they want.”

Simplified Meaning:

Many people don't speak up about what they really want because they're scared or nervous. When they keep quiet, others around them can't know what they need or hope for. Because of this, they often miss out on things they would like to have or achieve. For example, think about someone who wants a promotion at work but is too afraid to tell their boss. If they never express their interest, their boss might think they're happy where they are and give the promotion to someone else. Speaking up can help people achieve their goals and desires, so it's important to be clear and honest about what you want. It can feel risky, but being open can lead to better results and more satisfaction in life.
