This line of thinking can be detrimental to your mental health. Since you’re posting on Hacker News I’m assuming you’re not in politics — possibly the only career where likability matters. Just make sure to keep your boss happy, and keep your coworkers and/or reports from literally hating you and you’re fine. Trying to do anything more than that could lead you to developing social anxiety. There’s no way to truly understand what’s in someone else’s mind, so unless someone comes to you with a specific, actionable complaint don’t worry too much about what they think of you.
