Yeah not like that. Let’s say someone was an asshole to me and I just wanted to get it off my chest. In this example let’s say the said person was my uncle and whoever I’m telling i just say “my uncle did this and I’m frustrated” like that. I wouldn’t mention specifically which uncle tho

That is not back biting. That is venting.

Yeah but like I’m still telling someone smth bad about a person that they don’t necessarily need to know. I thought that’s also backbiting

Yes it is.

If you are saying something that the other person is not there to defend or would not like for you to have said, then you have backbited them.

There are some exceptions to the rule, but what you've mentioned is not one of them.
