How can you let someone influence your judgment that easily? I felt like screaming Do you have no opinion of your own? But I haven't said anything so far because she seems like the type to take it very very hard and I don't want to hurt her feelings. But I really do feel uncomfortable and I don't like it here.

I think she might indeed take hearing that very hard; I know someone very like your description of her, and it seems to me that the inability to form one's own opinions, coupled with the inclination to very easily take certain other people's on, is based on an extremely fragile sense of identity and self esteem.
That's very irresponsible of her friend, who surely knows how suggestible she is, to make her paranoid by saying such things. With the person I know who is like this, I am very careful not to make statements to her that would take advantage of her suggestibility. But I'm constantly hearing from her about some cockamamie thing other friends of hers have told her that she takes right to the bank. Thank goodness she at least stopped going to psychics. Heavens.
It is definitely a behavior trait that can be kind of maddening. Could drive the pope to drink, as they say...
Good luck. Stay safe.
