Do you ever find yourself feeling smug?

Recently my chef partner made terrible dumplings. The next day I made brilliant, big fluffy ones. I enjoyed being smug! But I was only teasing, not being awful smug. I think smug can be fun when it's in good humour.

I do, yes. I remind myself that some people might feel pretty smug watching some of the things I'm doing now, that I'll regret when I'm older and wiser.

A little mental slap goes a long way!

'Mental slap', good one.

I try not to be, but I'm sure theres times when it happens to everyone!
I'm not fond of people who always come across as smug, I try avoid them as best as I can.

Being smug is a human trait, and we have all done it for sure.

When I have done it.....I know straight away, and wow!
Big personal check in need!!!!
Like, ''what was I thinking''?
But, it is a trait we sometimes have to watch very carefully.
I think it happens when we are tired, I know it does with me.
When people get older: because they have done sooo much, that nothing surprises them really.
That also can cause me to be smug, I have to admit.
No excuse, but I just have keep checking myself....and try harder.

I'm sure I do sometimes, however cannot think of an instance now that I try to!

I think most of us would feel smug for some reason or other occasionally -I think it is part of life!

Smug. It's even an ugly word. I think, like meggf, that it can be fun . . but only at home. It is not a thing I admire out in the world and I would be waiting to be smacked down if I behaved smugly.
