satisfied

The verb to satisfy can be transitive or instransitive. In the case you mention, it would not be correct if the full stop comes after satisfied. However, if the sentence continued, it could be OK. For example:
'I still satisfied their requirements...'

Hope this helps,

I am still satisfied.

"I am still satisfied." is probably what you intended to say. No, one can not say "I still satisfied."
