I have never ever been insulted like that in all my life, so I'm just surprised rather get pissed off. Does this sound natural?

"I have never been that insulted in my whole life, so I'm just surprised rather than pissed off." is more natural
but you can also use "never ever" and "insulted like that", they would also sound natural i guess... but "in all my life" is kind of strange and "rather get pissed off" is wrong. when you use rather you have to use than after as in "rather than". "whole life", "entire life" or only "life" can be used here.
