People who are socially calculating and put energy into making themselves a representation of what their peer group want for themselves invariably find success. It comes at a cost though. Deep down they know they are fake, and this causes them to police their social circle ruthlessly, and makes them resentful and uncharitable towards others. It also means that no matter how much time they spend around another person they will never connect with them on a truly deep level. They don't understand that its happening, because they think they can know and control everyone and everything. They certainly don't know why there is a black void in their spirit, or that its there. But, its presence pushes them to use the only tools they have to fix the issue, their social pragmatism and vanity. This only drives them deeper into misery. It gets even worse when those closest start to figure things out.

The ones who are most successful continually find new friends who are higher and higher on the social ladder, and who are more and more submissive to them. The constant in and outflow of friendship means that they are surrounded by people who are most effected by their best quality, their first impression. These people will peak in high school or college, unless they can continually climb the social ladder.
