Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

To "feel like" something means that the speaker has an emotional feeling of being "like" or similar to something. "I felt like such an idiot" from the clip means that she had an emotion of herself being similar to someone who is unintelligent. Ex: I spent all my money on lottery tickets, I feel like such an idiot. Ex: My daughter felt like a princess when we bought her a new dress.
