Other people's negative thoughts can be intrusive and personally I stay focused on making my life the best it can be. The problems of others aren't significantly meaningful to me unless they're looking for advice or help in actually improving and making them better. These are some responses I typically give when addressed with whining and negativity. Women in particular actually like these responses because I'm an intelligent and interesting person with a lot of value to add.
I don't feel good today!!!"
I start talking about how good I feel and how I'm having a good day
Oh I'm so stressed about this!"
Everything is actually going really well for me and I'm doing great
my car is such a piece of shit!
I've been keeping up on maintenance so my vehicles always stay really reliable
everything is so expensive and I need money!
I make a lot of money and money always comes easily to me. My bills aren't that high and I'm able to always put money away
it's so hard to eat healthy and exercise and I have this or that health condition
I always make it a priority to take care of myself and my health is actually really good and I take zero medications and have no chronic health conditions!

How bout giving them some fake therapist name and saying you know someone who dumps all their petty complaints on that guy, and insurance pays for it.
