It was intended as an insult, that's exactly why I felt like such a dumbass. It's okay though, I feel like that often and it's just one of those things of life, people are going to insult you, I do stupid stuff and feel like a moron, and perhaps at certain instances I am.
I don't think of myself as a highly intellectual person, I'm not a learned professor or anything special, but I'm the only me I can be. I learn from my idiocy and I don't play paintball anymore 🤣
