Just trace the events to when it all started. The answer is usually there. Just remember everybody's connected somehow. It could easily be one person who gathered enough sympathy from others that created a legion of haters against you.
This sounds like a real possibility. "1984" featured solidarity through hate, and scapegoats are not rare in history. My ex had been abused, and was basically out to get her revenge on anyone who triggered her memories, which was easy to do with even a clothing selection. Of course, she wouldn't dump on anyone who was actually dangerous.
