Parenthood can affect how happy you feel, but it depends on how narcissistic you are. A study found that being a parent is linked to feeling happier, but only if you are not very narcissistic. If you have a big ego and think highly of yourself, being a parent can make you even happier. However, if you are more vulnerable and insecure, being a parent might not make you feel as good. So, how parenthood affects your happiness can be influenced by how narcissistic you are.
