you never can be selfish
"never can"
You - never (not done ever) - can (is possible) -
not done ever - is possible.
Doesn't make any sense.
No, say, "you never" - "you can" or "you can never" - but don't say, "you never can be....."
"You can't ever be....." that's ok.

"Never" always goes after the auxiliary (can), so it should be, "you can NEVER be selfish".

You should say ' you could never be selfish'

that is a completely correct sentence grammatically. Dont listen to your friends. Keep using it. :)

Speaker A: (in a sad voice) "I'm so selfish. I should never have done what I did."
Speaker B: (surprised) "You? Selfish? C'mon, you can never be selfish. You're the kindest, most generous person I know!"
c'mon (very casual) = come on, no way, that's difficult to believe
