A Knife in the Back Is Like an Itchy Massage

Every now and then I get to know someone who is one of those "tell you like it is" people. They piss you off with their confrontation and criticism, and then proudly say, "Hey, I just tell it like it is. I'm not some rat who goes around behind your back."
Well guess what. Since when is that actually helpful? I have low self-esteem, and to be honest, if there's something you don't like about me I'd rather not hear about it. I'm too old to change, and I welcome you to politely go behind my back and tell everyone around me what a schmuck you think I am. And I'll do you the service of doing the same.
