I used to struggle with this, I was in a friend group that was needlessly abrasive and hostile and it quickly became apparent that speaking up was never going to make anyone happier and even after I left that friend group for it’s obvious toxicity the behavior stuck with me it took a long time to break that.
I’m glad you recognized it the group and it’s effect on you. I noticed some bad habits I picked up from being around people I didn’t like. Being able to take note of it and change is a great skill to have.
