So basically ask yourself what caused these thoughts. Did you do it on purpose? Or they came to your mind unexpectedly. Did you enjoy them?
 
Well they didn’t really come out of the blue but i didn’t like them nor did i mean what the thoughts pretained to.
 
Did you consciously consent to having these thoughts?

Are we talking about sexually impure thoughts, or thoughts involving a bad disposition (e.g. unbelief, hatred)?
 
Well i can say they weren’t on purpose it deals with bad disposition

It would be a mortal sin if you at any point gave full consent to these thoughts (I’m assuming we’re speaking of objectively grave matter here). It would be venial if you started to consent to them but caught yourself immediately. And it would be no sin at all if you rejected these thoughts from the start.

If you entertained these thoughts without realizing their moral character, but immediately stopped upon realizing that they were gravely sinful, you would not be guilty of mortal sin.
