It’s my first full carbon bike and I don’t know how carbon reacts in crashes or forces applied to it, and when he hit it hard and there was a loud bang like hitting with a hammer we only expected it to crack that’s why I am worried as I don’t have expectation how carbon holds up.
As mentioned earlier, sell the bike now as it is in new condition and given the marketplace probably get all your money back. Your reaction over a tiny paint chip in the most durable part of the bike means you will never be at ease. Things are going to happen if you decide to ride it, perhaps another friend may lean their bike against yours or accidentally bump it when leaning on something. Carbon is not for everyone, such deep seated anxiety over its durability would just take the fun out of it for you.
