#self-satisfaction

• Self-complacency — A state of exaggerated, often unfounded or smug satisfaction with one's own qualities, deeds, achievements, or life circumstances; passive complacency in one's current state, accompanied by a lack of critical spirit and desire for self-improvement. In behavioral psychology and ethical analysis, the term describes a trap of the ego (self-sufficiency) that blocks intellectual or spiritual evolution through systematic rejection of constructive external evaluations.
• Self-satisfaction — A feeling of contentment, pride, or delight regarding one's own achievements, qualities, actions, or behaviors. In a positive sense, it represents a healthy internal validation of efforts made, while in a pejorative or critical sense, it suggests a state of complacency, self-sufficiency, or vanity that can block personal growth and objective self-analysis.
