I really love my job and the clients I serve. I have actually been there longer than anyone else, but I am the most unpopular person on our team. I am treated as a total outcast, even with management. What should I do? I don't want to work anywhere else, but feel somewhat threatened and have noone I can talk to.

You really need to look into why it is this way and whether you can do something about it. Could you be imagining the situation is worse than it is? When I first read your question, I was going to say resign. Work atmosphere is so important. But reading the details, how much you love your job, how good you are at it. then reading that you don't talk to anyone and you feel threatened, it seems like you might have a personal issue. Work performance and work environment are rarely so at odds. Could you see a counselor for a few sessions to talk about this, a psychotherapist?

Take whatever time you can after work to discuss your issues with friends and family, otherwise your gonna burn out from the stress level.
I would also start to research your area for similar companies, that might have a need for a good hard worker.
You might get lucky and actually find a company that could use your services.
In spite of your situation your enthusiastic about what you do and
how you serve your clients and that's extremely important and will come across in an interview. Good Luck
you might want to get Andy Andrews book "The Gift of The Traveler" excellent book for people that want to learn and use the seven decisions for personal success. I bought a copy on EBay used for like 4 bucks and it was definitely worth it
It deals with some of the issues your facing

First, you need to go to management. That is there job. If they are creating a hostile work environment then they are subjecting themselves to various legal liabilities. The caveat is that you have to make the situation known to them and document it.
Secondly, you need to address your concerns with your fellow "teammates." It obviously can't make you any more of an outcast. They may not be aware that they are doing anything.
I had a similar situation happen to me. It didn't get better until I stood up for myself. You aren't going to be able to win everyone over but for the most part in my situation, they had a new found respect for my abilitity and the fact that I wasn't like them, wasn't going to be their best friend or hang out but that didn't mean I couldn't be productive etc.

U need to connect with the people on the team, in ways that they can relate to.
Maybe U should hold a house warming party (if U can afford it) and make them see you for who u really are. I have a feeling that You are simply misunderstood.

keep the job and try to find a friend to help you manage the negative attitude towards you and also talk to your boss about how you feel and try to make an agreement that makes everyone involved comfortable good luck.
