It has a lot to do with how someone tells or asks me to do something. I want to hear a "please" or "could you" but Im afraid that I will get heat for saying that (as I already experienced). The work relation then gets worse which I in turn cant live with. Eventually I spiral down into me wanting to leave the job.

I can relate on this. I've hated working for other people, especially those who had LESS experience than me. But I'll NEVER do anything for anyone if I don't want to, especially if they don't ask me nicely. Why should I bother? They're not respectful to me so I won't waste my time.
It seems you have values about that as well and it's clashing with people. You want respect, they see you as a robot. Which is going to win? Are you going to stand your ground or let them walk on you?
Ask yourself whether or not your job is really worth it, either. Why would you want to contribute there in that work space, rewarding them for being rude to people. And I sure hope the people you work with are not in the service industry as I'd hate to have an assholic waiter not say "thank you" if I tipped them...
What'll it be? Slave to them or God/dess to yourself?
