Best thing I ever did to cope is that I started to deal with people instead of trying to avoid them.

Take the discussion the first time it comes up. Speak your mind as soon as you are given a chance. Keep repeating yourself in meetings and stick with it. Fight for the things that you find important.

It sucks that you have to keep babbling with all these people around you in order to avoid everything collapsing on your head, but the sooner you realise this fact the better. And if you figure out that you are the only one at your job who actually care about your job and the quality of the stuff you produce, then good on you. It'll motivate you to find a better one.
