FYI, no one cares

It's just not an emotionally friendly place. Full of double-standards. I'm sure you're not a loser but you're only giving them what they want when you respond this way. Stop letting them feel like they're better than you. You're not being the bigger person by letting them treat you like shit, it just makes you look like a punk. You don't owe them shit. You better dig down and pull out your inner bitch. Sometimes if you're a bit reclusive and to yourself, people take that personally. Most people don't understand even the mildest cases of introversion, only others like you do. You don't have to kiss those assholes' behinds or anything but you should try to be mindful of what it is you're putting out there that they might be reacting to. Not saying you'd need to change, but at least you'd know. I doubt the situation would change much since you've been working w/ these folks for a while but you definitely can't let other people drag you down like that. They're not capable of anything you're not. It's easier to slap them down than you think.
