This isn't really advice, but I have had many jobs in environments you describe. I was not able to protect myself from the negativity and would end up bringing home problems, worrying at night, skin breakouts. I also avoid confrontations as I tend to dissolve into tears when I get angry or frustrated. I finally decided that I needed to put myself in a healthier environment rather than trying to adapt to a negative one, and that's what I did. The pay is lower but the quality of my life greatly improved.
