smugness
This term describes a specific brand of self-satisfaction that is perceived as irritating or arrogant by others.

It is frequently used in social critiques or descriptions of interpersonal conflict.
As an abstract quality, this noun is uncountable. It describes a state of being or a personality trait rather than a discrete object. To quantify it, speakers must use partitive constructions such as a sense of smugness or a hint of smugness.
