Use of 'Dignified'
I have a doubt ! I'll be very thankful if anyone can answer it for me
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
I feel dignified right now.
Few responses will be I feel honourable that I acknowledge. But can we feel dignified or not . I have been told that we can only use this sentence like - I am dignified. Saying that we feel dignified is incorrect.
I appreciate your time in replying to the question
Thanks

It is correct syntax and semantics, but it's not something that would normally be said. "Dignified" is an attribute that is generally assessed by others, vs something that you can say about yourself.

“I feel dignified right now” is correct, although the word isn’t used too often to describe oneself. It’s used more often to describe someone else, like “The prince must act dignified at the party” or “The dignified man I saw wore a suit.”
