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.

Some of us are just very competitive people and enjoy competing. Nothing wrong if you’re not like that, but personally I try to be the best at things that I do
