Learn to accept yourself and be confident in your abilities. Most workplaces are not places to go looking for acceptance, especially if you're talented, industrious and independent. It appears the qualifications for long-term job is being a crowd follower - yes, yes person - and a butt kisser. Most workplaces just do not appreciate anyone with a mind of their own, regardless of your skills and potentials.
Percy Chrysler changed jobs so many times (because of his independence and vision) he would have been termed a loser by today's standards - he even attempted some unsuccessful takeovers. I know. They even said he was crazy. However, the last time Chrysler walked out and banged the door, the door to Chrysler coorporation was born, though he would be barred from showcasing in the auto show with his first model Chrysler. They simply believed, until Percy Chrysler proved them otherwise, that Chrysler was a nut case! Ever think of self-employment?

Workplace is not the place to seek acceptance (trust me i tried it for years and it never worked). Seek acceptance elsewhere like with friends, at church, with your lover, at yoga class or clubs.
Not at work. If you keep looking for acceptance at work you will keep being disappointed. Took me over 20 years to figure it out. Now i just do my work and am happy. Even if my ideas and myself is rejected at work it doesn't matter. I am an engineer also.

Quit job, and find other one that matches your skills.
Quit job quicker because your workplace does not know how to use your skills.
Quit job right away because your manager and co-workers are jealous of your skills.

Make yourself feel better by thinking you're too good for them and it's their loss they dont have you in their company.
Also, try to remember there's a reason for everything. Wherever you are right now in your present life, that's where God wants you to be.
Lastly, close that chapter in you life and move on.

Get a job with a competitor and work twice as hard to prove them wrong.

go get a girlfriend or a friend and just get over it. people that work over you at a job think their crap dont stink. so dont worry about them. like my mom always said "Kill them with kindness" Dont let them know they are bothering you. just let it roll off your back and continue with your life. life is too short to worry about what others think.

How is this question related to engineering??? This is more of a social behavior issue.
