Points that will help you find out if your colleague doesn't like you
Pay attention to details:
Your intuition makes you believe that he doesn't like you
Our intuition is our friend. Therefore, if your instinct alerts you that someone treats you badly or doesn't like your company, it's good to be aware and not to despise your internal defenses.
Doesn't smile when you're close and gets irritated by your presence
The smile indicates openness. If the person does not smile when they are close to you or is very serious, it may indicate discomfort with your presence, representing an uncomfortable figure. Besides getting irritated when you're close.
Doesn't invite you to happy hour
Going out after work helps with group interaction. If the person doesn't usually include you in after-hours meetings, it may be that they don't consider you part of the group and don't feel comfortable with your going to happy hour.
Does not make eye contact
With the exception of shy people, if your co-worker talks to you without making eye contact it could indicate that he doesn't like you. Looking up, sideways or down are common gestures and can indicate that the person doesn't appreciate you very much.
Disagree with your positions
If a person makes a point of always disagreeing with what you say, even when it's an important and relevant opinion, it could indicate that he doesn't like you and your ideas.
Excessively critical of your work
Criticizing your work can be a way of showing that you don't like who you are and even envy your abilities and skills. Especially when there is no basis for criticism.
Spread rumors about you
Gossip with your co-worker's name is a classic way to show that you don't like the person.
