It takes courage to be upfront and honest. Not sneaky behind one’s back kind of person.

Even if friendship must end, you spoke your truth and expressed things honestly. You also acknowledged that it was better to be upfront instead of ignoring a person. That’s admirable.

You aren’t an idiot. Idiots are the ones who end friendships but then talk sh...t behind ex friends backs spreading rumors and gossip about former friends in a sneaky (yet obvious to everyone) way. Stay true to yourself. Good job
