Odds are that your coworkers care about you more than you think https://time.com/5396598/good-first-impression/?amp=true
Who cares what they think so long as you are doing your job .
Agree with this, unless you need to work with them collaboratively. People are often pretty salty and socially-motivated, and if you're not liked they might withhold things or create more work for you by not being readily available or willing to jump in and give you a hand. If you have a job where you tend to work in isolation, as long as you have a fair manager, you might be just fine.
Most coworkers won't overtly show their disdain for you so as not to cause trouble or jeopardize their own careers. They may make life difficult for you, but they'll probably try to stay under the radar. Still, there are subtle red flags that they're not out for your best interests.
One sign is that they don’t acknowledge your presence. If your colleagues don't say "Good morning" when you arrive or "Have a great night" on their way out, they may be telling you they don't like you.
Don't bother yourself thinking if your co-worker likes you or not. As long as you are doing your job right then I think you will have any problem at all. You cannot please everyone and no matter how good of a person you are there will always be someone who will think bad things about you. So don't force yourself to be liked by everybody. Do what you do best with good intentions and you are good to go.
If they don’t give you a reaction without your forcing them to
Your gut tells you they don't like you. If you feel like your coworkers don't like you, then it could just be in your head, but it could also be true. If they treat you differently than everyone else, then you're probably not their favorite person. Trust your gut and continue looking for other signs if you have a strong feeling about this.
One of the signs are they don't smile when you're around. We're not talking about the occasional bad day or mood swing. If your coworkers make a conscious effort not to smile when you're in the room, then something isn't right.
When they give off negative body language. Whether it's a subtle eye roll or constantly assuming a closed-off position with arms folded across their chest, or they don't look up from their computer screen when you enter their office, your coworkers' body language will often reveal their true feelings toward you.
If they make any sort of effort to get to know you or be friendly, "Hey, good morning!" "How was your weekend?" "Good to see you," that's a good sign. If they instigate friendly, non-essential-work conversations with you, they likely don't hate you.
We have a new associate at work who I have tried to be friendly with. The issue is that she does not reciprocate the “how was your weekend?” and the like and kind of hijacks the conversation to talking about herself and whatever pops into her head. She’s been with us for 3 weeks and I already know more about her than my other coworkers lmao. I try to be patient because she’s new and we’re glad she’s on the team, but it’s exhausting!!!
It’s all in the soft skills. Are they prepared to invest in you on a social level…and have you invested in them. It’s stupid things like knowing what they plan to do at the weekend and asking on Monday if they had fun. If you are annoying them they probably won’t ask and don’t care.
People can be grumpy and have bad days, but have you noticed that this primarily happens to you and practically always? That might be a sign.
Your colleagues may not like you if you see that they choose the stairs when they see you waiting for the elevator or if they wait until you enter the break room after you leave it. That's what I do with a coworker of mine.
If your coworkers don't greet you when you arrive or wish you a good night when they leave, they might not be fond of you.
Your coworkers' body language often reveals their genuine feelings toward you, whether it be a subtle eye roll, striking a closed-off stance with their arms crossed across their chest, or refusing to look up from their computer screen as you go into their office.
They'll likely want to minimize their face-to-face interactions with you if your coworkers don't like you. A change toward more digital correspondence is a symptom, so keep an eye out for it.
I like the fact that you are keeping yourself in check. Hmm. Well, I think if they start treating you coldly and become more distant?
