Not enjoying apprenticeship

Been here 6 months but not really enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I don’t really have many work friends here as everyone’s a lot older and consumed with their own lives and projects. Everyone is really nice but sometimes I feel as if they think less of me because i am an apprentice, and don’t think I’m really that capable or that I’m dumb because I chose not to go Uni. They talk to me in a condescending way even though I don’t think they mean it but it’s pretty annoying at times. There’s one colleague who shifts all things on to me when something comes up all the small little jobs that she doesn’t want to do. It’s hard because everyone’s super nice but I just feel as if I’m not really valued and part of the team as everyone else.
