I would try giving these a s s holes a bit of their own medicine. They may be like other animals that sense a weakness and go in for the kill - that's why they don't bother others, they know they can't hurt them. In you they sense a vulnerability. That is a double edged sword, it has both good and bad sides to it. Keep the good, get rid of the bad.
Pick out something in each person who is mean to you and be ready to throw their own defects back at them. If they are fat, tell them so. If they have funny looking teeth, let them know. If they are stupid, point it out. Whatever imperfection they have, make them aware of it. And don't let them know that it bothers you one bit about what they think of you. Who are they any way? Are they really worth your attention? Does their opinion really matter? Tell them to go F themselves and seek out real friends who are supportive of you.
Don't give your power to other people who don't deserve it. Your power is YOURS to keep and control. They can only hurt you if you let them. You decide whose opinion you care about. You decide who is a real friend - based on their actions and words - and who isn't.
