Thanks for the comment. This meme can be taken many ways. I think true friends can also say "critical" things behind your back as well - but out of concern for you - and perhaps with the hope that if their observation of you is right - what they may perceive to be a problem can be rectified.  Less mature people actually like to celebrate the problems of others in a gossipy way in that if somebody knows that you have flaws - it makes them feel better about themselves.  So many people fall into the latter category I find - particularly family (immediate or extended).
