Yeah the thing I've observed about gossip is that it always has a negative spin on it.
Relating a story and expressing a hurt is held by objective grounds and is generally something that has purpose to the one who listens to it. I think. I don't talk to people about my feelings very often. I don't really trust anyone. lol
You did just now. :p That's progress!

There is a fine line. I find it best to just not talk about people.

If I'm doing it, I am relating a story. If other people do it, it is gossip. :p
