How to achieve smugness?

[foggy]

I am looking for advice on how to achieve smugness

Specific techniques like vocal tones and facial expressions would be appreciated, as well as overall strategy

A scenario in which I would want to be smug is when a woman asks a question about me

Initially I can see that thinking like a narcissist helps with these behaviors. And you guys know I wanna be a narc!

Embody the idea that the person speaking to you is stupid, doesn’t know what they are talking about, that they desperately need you but may not be worthy of you (you’re talking to them to give them the opportunity to prove that they are).

Facial expressions and body language should follow from there.

stemming from this facial expression:

• throwing my head back
• squinting my eyes
• holding my cheeks up
• making a "tsss" or "khh" sound
• tight dumbfounded smile

like theyre...uh...stupid

this is allowing myself social practise with the following 3 things you mentioned:

Yeah i think you're onto it. I'm at a loss when it comes to breaking down the minutiae of facial and bodily expressions. My go to is to imagine the emotion, embody the emotion, project the emotion and assume my body language and facial expressions will follow suit.
