Being more focused on victory, or the aspects like domination of an activity, than actual enjoyment of the activity for or by anybody else.
No wonder he/she wasnt thought of as fun to take to parties anymore by the people who once thought he/she was (some had never thought that he/she was fun to take anywhere or be around), he/she really thought of life as nothing but a competition, and had come up with spiritual answers to everything that other people didnt think were competition in life despite not really believing in any of the bullshit answers himself/herself. One thing a competitive person doesn't get is how much loss their is in a war that is considered won by the group that calls themselves the winners, they're too focused on the winning part to get it, despite claiming to be somehow deeper thinking than other people (depth is also no good if it turns into competitive bullshit). Focusing on something besides winning would actually cause them to look at negative things in themselves and other people and wonder if they're really such a winner that they claim to be, or whether it's just everybody else that is the bully, or the self-serving asshole, or the narcissist, or the negative influence.

A day lot of people pretend to be grateful. Lots of people say they're grateful on Thanksgiving, or during a pandemic, while a few know how ungrateful they really are. A few know they're as much part of the problem as the Mexicans working long hours at the plant at minimum wage risking exposure to viruses from both animals and other people to get their bird to them.
A lot of people thank a healthcare worker during a pandemic, just like a lot of people would thank the Mexican dude that just dropped dead from working at the plant to get a turkey to a family on time for Thanksgiving dinner if they ever met the guy. The reality is people don't really care all that much about the efforts of other people. What's the point in pretending to? Let people know you're an ungrateful asshole like me, it's who you really are, ugly inside when nobody is looking.

Another word someone who's pretending to be your friend thinks to call knowing you. Its real simple, a friendship is a friendship, and anything else is not a friendship, it's something else.
There are no frienemies, there is no such thing as a situationship. These are words made by people who want to get their enemies to be friendly to them, as one more side to play of many.

What the guy did was almost admirable. I could lie and say i was in awe, or that i did have a great admiration of him to gain something from it like many people do, but i'm not gonna do that if I'm really not.

The kind of person nobody (in their family) misses when they're not around, even if they were somebody (and not just in a small pond) in the world.
The girl wasn't obscure to the party crowd yet, but there would come a day when she wasn't fun to take to parties anymore.

When a female says she will go insane and take you with her, she's really telling you she's gonna start whining more over sillier and sillier shit.
