Answer 1

If you can't be trusted to keep a secret, no one will tell you any and you will have difficulty finding and keeping friends, as you are discovering. I'm glad that you recognize that this is a problem. All you have to learn is to not say the first thing that comes into your head. Think first, then speak.

In my experience, if two friends of yours have a fight, it's best to stay out of it and don't interfere at all. If they want to talk to you about it individually, by all means listen and try to help them out but do it individually and definitely don't repeat what they told you to the other person. People need to talk about their problems but they're doing it in confidence to you which means they aren't ready for the other person to know it yet.

But anyway, gossip is bad bad bad. Try not to talk about other people's issues. You can talk about the good things that are going on people's lives but anything bad is best kept to yourself.

The best advice I guess is to think about what you're about to say before you say it or think about the consequences of what might happen if you say it. Another thing you could try doing is, when you see or hear something, think about whether you should repeat it or not at the time of seeing it. That might help.

It'll take time and practice before it comes naturally but whenever you do say something which you then regret, you can apologise and try to explain what you really meant or you can ask the person you told not to tell anyone else.

It's called will power. Discipline. Self control. You'll need to work at it. The thing about it is that they don't just come to you from out of no where. You'll have to put some effort into it. Try real hard to not run your mouth today and you'll find it's easier to shut your mouth later on in life. In other words STOP IT.
