It is not a good idea to quit your job. But you can certainly start looking for another one, especially since you have now learned that you are more comfortable in a smaller group or working alone. In the meantime, try to be only professionally friendly to everyone.

Make a business case for telecommuting part of the work week, either as improved productivity or to offset a raise you did not get by decreasing your transportation costs. You could also ask to shift your work hours to provide coverage when others are not there, decreasing contact.
