Find a distraction or way to redirect your mind. If someone comes to you with a problem, focus on how to solve the problem. Or ignore them while you focus on something else entirely. It may help to perceive it as characters in a story rather than people in order to create some emotional distance.
Don't do this too often or people will think you're an asshole.
