Same here. It doesn't help that in group work I barely participate (sometimes because I'm nervous about being critiqued for my ideas but lately it's been because I generally don't know/nor care about what's going on).
Just recently, I remember I suggested an idea and the 3 members (who had all previously known each other, they took me in because groups of 4 were needed) kinda just shrugged it off and gave each other this look trying not to laugh. I noticed, pretended like I didn't, and just looked down at my notes "minding my own business". After that I didn't really have much input with that group and they had expressed their frustration, passive-aggressively saying "hey you haven't talked in a while, what do you think?" - and even AS they're saying it they just give each other that look again. The whole situation is just so uncomfortable to me and it had pissed me off so much, to the extent that I started wishing violent thoughts on them to cope with the situation.
