It's not quite insulting. Almost. 99% insulting.

It's usually used in a sentence when something or someone's trait is bad to a point it makes one person mad, or in other words, insulted.

When someone does something but the way that they do is almost feels like an insult. For example, if I do a HUGE favor for a friend, but they show appreciation in a really cheap or thoughtless way, I could say that it is almost insulting. If I plan a huge party and buy a really nice and expensive gift for my friend's birthday, and next week for my birthday, all she does is give me a small box of grocery store chocolate, her gift is almost insulting. At face value, she did a nice thing for me and bought me a present, but in the big picture, she was totally thoughtless and didn't show any care for our friendship.
