I can't work out whether you are being serious here
and hence really dumb

Fucks sakes
Would I ever, realistically, employ smugness in an argument with you of all people, for anything other than comic effect?

that doesn't make much sense
because you see someone as having a characteristic that means you can't have it yourself, or if you do, can't show it to them in seriousness?

I didn't think you actually thought I was jealous and aroused....

I meant more specifically in relation to me
Regardless of your opinion regarding the lifestyle choice on which we differ (colossal gayness), the principle area in which we're most opposite is self-confidence. Smugness is not something I do convincingly, or indeed, ever. That was meant to be the point

despite having worked at it
I'm not quite as confident as I make out. To a certain extent acting that way makes it happen though.

I'm not particularly smug, just happy and content for the most part, and proud of the things I can do well.

I absolutely concur with the first statement
but sadly the second has yet to become apparent for me. People are generally disbelieving when I claim to have piss-poor self-esteem. Based on your second paragraph we theoretically are similar in this respect also. Perhaps you're just better at it.
