You have a knack for figuring out when something isn't a good fit and getting out, which is a skill I wish I had.

You seem to be in a much better place now, determined to leave that career path and move on to something that would be a better fit.

I'd also observe that many of these places, including your current place, have high turnover. It's just more evidence that it's not you, it's them. Building up your confidence will be key.
I'd like to add that some industries draw jerks like lint to a navy blue suit. I've worked in two (what I thought were completely different industries) and both are crammed full of people who do not play well with others and who see no value in being pleasant team players. Maybe it is useful to decide what sort of environment you want and then enhance your present skills and develop new ones to get you in the door.
