Would you take it as an insult if someone called you silly?

Depending on the tone and inflection, it could be an insult or a compliment.
I grew up in a comedic family and we all clowned around at times.
I have noticed that through the years, people tend to use that word as more of an insult than a compliment. The dictionary uses words like 'foolish' or 'goofy' to describe someone who is 'silly'.
I have also noticed that when I have been labeled as 'silly', people have a harder time taking what I say as serious. It almost implies that you can't be both, you have to pick one and stay that way.
Monty Python has often used the word 'silly' in their characters and skits. They state that something or someone is 'silly' and imply it as an insult, but at the same time what is deemed 'silly' is the focus of all the humor.
The next time someone calls me 'silly', I would ask them "Is that a compliment or are you asking me out on a date?"

Silly is better than sad. Being called sad would worry me cuz if it's that obvious I have a problem. But to be silly, you just have to be happy - or at least a little unique!

I wouldn't really be offended if I had done something silly and someone said "how silly!" they would just be reminding me to be a more thoughtful person....
I would be offended if they said that to me all the time, especially if they knew I was really trying my best! I would be offended if they meant to hurt me too, if they knew I had tried my best but not enough for them :(
It does depend on you and the circumstances but I've been called silly before and I'm sure its not going to be the last time!
So not really insulted by a word like that.
