First, I'm sorry things are so difficult, but I do think you should hang in there. It might be a good idea to do like you said and keep a low profile and really just learn as much as you can about the work environment and your coworkers. Sometimes we read more into situations simply because they're foreign to us. Sometimes taking the time to figure out all of the personalities involved can help you craft how you deal with them.
Focus on doing the best work you can, don't volunteer information until you know who you can trust and resist the urge to be confrontational unless it's a serious accusation. Some managers are just lousy at dealing with people, often their attitude has nothing to do with you and more to do with their own issues. Don't do anything out of the ordinary without having it in writing. Keep an eye out for other opportunities in case you do need to make an exit. If there are any people you get along well with, work on fostering those relationships and you might get some good insight or future network connections. Try to remember that it's not forever and even a bad experience can help you learn and prepare for the future.
Good luck and I really do hope it gets better.
