<human>: As a young male in his early 20's I have noticed something strange about the social hierarchies I encounter daily in a university environment. It seems as though people who are selfish tend to succeed socially better than others. But why do these people succeed in a group environment? I have thought about this a lot and it makes little to no sense. I keep my mouth shut, hardly ever talk about myself, never talk badly about people behind their back, support others in their dreams and aspirations, and yet I feel very lonely and have no friends. It seems as though people do not return the favor (which I am totally fine with btw). The part that bugs me is that people go on and on and on about their own lives, and seem to succeed socially, in a very dysfunctional type of way. I don't know if I'm in the wrong group environment or whatnot, but it's starting to frustrate me because I feel it is holding me back to some extent in bettering myself as a person. I'm waiting for others to take interest in me as I do them but it never happens. I mean, I understand I am going to fall behind in an economic sense if I hold strong morals and ethics, but socially? With women? Good friends? I keep asking the question to myself of whether or not it is beneficial to stay truthful and honest to others and myself. So my question is; do you think it pays off to be narsissistic and selfish? Judging by many examples and anecdotes from the real world, the answer would seem to be yes

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: Why do the drunken, incoherent, rambling, obnoxious, and self righteous individuals tend to succeed socially more so than  people that actually listen to others?
