What is 'She kind of was'? Kat: I was being kind. Clay: Yeah she kind of was. What is 'She kind of was'?

Kat: I was being kind.

Clay: Yeah she kind of was.

This is part of 13 reasons why episode 1 script.

I understood Kat said kindly.

And Clay answered 'she kind of was'.

Is this means 'she was (kind)'?

And the 'kind of' doesnt have any meanings here?

'kind of' being between 'she' and 'was' makes me confuse or is there any other part I've missed?

Hi 'Kind of' is the same as 'sort of', if you know that expression. It means quite/rather. So, 'she was being quite crazy.' It's nothing to do with being a kind person. And i would say having the door closed in my face is more than 'kind of' rude.

It means "a little" or "in a way that was not easy to notice at first". For example, if someone closes a door in your face, we could say it was kinda rude. They weren't be openly or loudly rude, but still rude.
