Lonely/unliked feelings start a bad cycle for a lot of people. You feel unliked, so since you think no one likes you, you isolate yourself. That makes you feel lonely. When you're lonely for a long time, you start to think no one likes you, so you isolate yourself . . .
You'll run in circles for a while, and that's okay. Almost everyone does it, and it's worse around holidays for a lot of people. All those people feeling lonely who could be in it together are out there wandering around feeling alone, which is a little sad! Even those people on here that claim they've never struggled with it, most of them went through that cycle a few times before they realized acting like a tough guy gets them attention and makes them feel more liked.
There will be people who know you buzzing around trying to get close. When that happens, as hard as it may be, fight that self-isolation impulse that comes from assuming people don't like or care about you and let them in. You'll probably find out they actually do.
