Best thing is to try to understand and move on. It is possible that there's something you did or said or your attitude but it is also possible someone might be sabotaging you. By moving on and seeing whether these patterns repeat you can asses whether you have any blame at all. I've worked in a toxic environment and know how they affect the confidence. Second, no pay no play, it's a good sign to move on. On friendship: if you show a more humble side of yours people won't be afraid to be your friends. Sometimes people are intimidated by people who are better than them. Also eagerness friends turns people off, sometimes it's better to just smile and wait for friendships to happen naturally. Not sure if that was your case but it's a good thing to rummage on.
