Have you ever said something and then regretted it later. Well that’s how I feel most of the time when I say things. It's like I can see what I’m about to say and I tell myself not to say it but it itches me so bad that I have to say it.
The story is that I went to work today as usual. Today, like other days, was filled with mess and messy people. My coworkers had got into an argument and my supervisor had separate them. She started talking to me about the problem later and instead of me just nodding and agreeing I just had to put my two cents in about how I didn’t like working with them and how one was particularly messy. I should've kept that one to myself especially with the type of people I work with. How can I stop myself from just giving into negative conversation and opening my big mouth at work of all places? How do I just shut up and listen despite how I feel about that person?

You don't have a big mouth. You are an energetic person, and you really care about this so you're just fine. Next time you're in a situation like that you will remeber. (Do i really need to say this?) and you'll get better at it each time.
be happy with yourself that you give a damn. Some people just walk around thinking they are right all the time and will never change

This may sound crazy, but if you have something to say tell your self or you can speak it "No comment" and walk away. I use this at work all the time, cause damn sometimes you work with some dumb people and you can't help yourself.
Or sometimes I really shut my mouth really tight or worse case scenario I even covered my mouth with my hand, cause what I have to say could totally get me fired.
-LOL-
You know your only speaking the truth, if people can't handle it, that's their problem.

If you really don't like the people you are working with, the next time and every other time one of your co-workers wants to gossip or talk about others, just tell them you are busy and really don't like to talk about the other people.
This will shut them up fast and keep your mouth shut at the same time. If you don't like them as you say then it shouldn't bother you to tell them this.
