I should have kept that to myself, cuz I can't talk to the friend in hospital because he is far from here and too sick to talk on the phone.
Knowing now that they talk negatively about others sheds light.

My initial thought was, I don't like being brought into the details of others' lives. It's none of my business. A quick mention, such as a health update or life event is acceptable.
