Overwhelmingly competitive people

What are your thoughts on some people being so competitive? By this, I refer mostly to narcs, those that only want to receive but never help / try to take advantage or those that try to stab you in the back instead of focusing on themselves

I understand you got to be competitive to break into / improve your position in IB or PE, but some people are just so obsessed that it's tyring.
