No, I don’t think I’ve become complacent, but I have become lazier. I’m also less stressed than I used to be, and less likely to get worked up about the little things because, you know, life really is too short now.
ETA: hmm, does that make me complacent?

None apply to me because I’m as astute now as I’ve always been. When it come to nouse, I exude it from every pore.

Yes and no because it depends on the situation and on what is understood by the word. Expectedly, since the word has a negative connotation, no one wants to use the word and comes up with different words instead to describe the same thing. I, too, have noticed that I take a different attitude toward certain things but would rather say this is because I’ve become more experienced, more relaxed and discriminating, because at my/our age it’s easier to find out what is important and what isn’t, where improvement is needed and where there’s no need for action.
Why should more mature people not be satisfied with what they have achieved in life and at the same time decide that improving or changing things is not always necessary? OTOH, there are uncertain or even risky situations in which complacency would definitely be the wrong reaction.

Based on the questions, I’ve been going the opposite way over the past couple years. But I’m trying to be more complacent, which I sort of equate with content since you don’t have to strive more when you’re content.

I think there might be a fine line between complacent and contentment.
If something annoys one person, but not another, they would say we were ‘complacement.’
But the calmer of the two, might well put it down to contentment.

I’ve never thought about whether or not I’m complacent. I’m not thinking, now, whether or not I’m complacent. I have no intention of ever thinking about whether or not I’m complacent.
OH, MY GOD…THAT MEANS I’M COMPLACENT!
I’m dooooooomed, but I don’t care about being dooooooomed, at all! OH, MY GOD - I’M COMPLACENTING, AGAIN!

We all doomed there is only one end and none of us are getting out alive.
True, but do you have to put it so bluntly?

I was going to say much the same, but I’d rather Muddy said it on a nice summer evening when we are all feeling quite cheery…than on a cold dark winters night in February with the wind and rain lashing down for the 17th night running, and the world is still in chaos.
