How to avoid getting clutched by the thoughts

[Native spirit]

I am a strong person once. I set my mind to something Nothing will change that, I will do it time and again until I get the desired result that I want no thought process will change that,
To give up is not in my nature,
I used to look after a friend who was very Negative no one could be around her for more than 5 minutes. without having thoughts of killing her or themselves.
I was used to her it was like water of a ducks back to me. I was asked many times how I could put up with her.
My answer was they are her thoughts influencing them they are not mine.
when I leave I leave them with her.
it was easy for me as I am a qualified counselor and we see many people like my friend.


Namaste

Any other ideas?
