There really is no definitive answer to the question. First and foremost, average human beings do not have extended lifespans, and so it's difficult to predict what their emotional state-of-mind might be; your characters, who exist in your world, will differ greatly from the everyday, common man.

As the "creator" of your work, you should try and develop these concepts on your own. Only you will understand the complexities of the differing elements that might affect a character's psychology. As far as their being "victims" of your genetic, narcissistic society, there's really no way for any of us to lend help there; again, it's your creation. With so little information to go on, none of us will be able to explain to you how they can be victims of that type of social environment.
