Can you lateral to another job within the same company so you can have a different supervisor?

op - do you have this thing too where you constantly think 'oh it must be me' and then you try extra really hard for a while and salvage your inspiration to 'do better' and then things happen where you realize that nothing you do will change anything (or nothing you as a human have the capability to do will change anything) and then it's even so much more discouraging all over again and then repeat

Just strike back, dude. Don’t just stand there being humiliated. Give them a dose of their own medicine. That’s how I turned my workplace into the toxic atmosphere it is now. Now nobody messes with me

op - this is pretty much my story.
I'm increasingly constantly sidelined and each meeting (of which there are many) brings reminders of the fact that I'm I guess.. unnecessary?

I apply constantly.
you must be able to imagine a world in which someone is humiliated at work. It's not a new concept.

Are you a stripper?

I'm sorry OP. Can you give more detail on what is 'humiliating'?

Are you wearing a costume and waving down cars? What’s so humiliating about it?

I've been waiting to quit until I found something equivalent or close or better but it's been so long and I just cannot. It's crushing my soul.
i think i need to move to a much lower col area and just quit. right? It's so bad.
