"Being yourself" X "Fitting in the society"

It is the big question, the turn-point of everyone's life, part of growing up.
I am rather caught up by these thoughts.

Like they all say, "Be yourself", "Be the person you are", "Be the person you are comfortable being as".
But when one does something like that, you can hear people saying things like "That guy is weird", "You're weird" and stuff.
As i always define it as 'One man's meat is another's poison', at some degree, at some extent, such words still sting, especially spoken by someone close.
It is true that 'The ones who hurt you the most is the ones who you loved the most'.
It's only when they matter to you, that their words carry a great amount of gravity, thus hurt even more.

So, back to the question, what would you do? To 'be yourself'? Or to 'conform to what is expected of you?'
