AIBU, to not know how to deal with toxic people at work

[Popcorn121]

I am feeling so low about this, I actually like my job but in a team of 8 there are 3 people that make it really unpleasant. They gossip, put me down, will be chatting away and then go all quiet when I enter the room. I’m particularly upset about one man that I helped a lot when he was learning the job but he has been making digs, asking me personal/awkward questions about (my lack of) love life in front of people so I know they can slag me off together later. My feeling in the people that exhibit this behaviour aren’t the most productive workers so it seems like a way for them to bond and feel superior over others. Anyone dealt with similar? I can’t leave as I work school hours and it will be near impossible to find the same wage with these hours.

Lately I have been putting my ear pods in and listening to my favourite radio station. I have completely disengaged from my toxic work group. The ear pods also helps me from having to listen to their bullshit. Don't know if you're allowed to do this in your work?

I’m an owner of a business trying to stop this behaviour. It’s so hard to call out and catch people doing it but it has to be stamped out from anyone in authority.
I’d speak to someone about it, your manager or HR.
