Why does this guy sometimes try to talk to me if he hates me?

This guy at work was one of my supervisors but instead of training me he ignored so obviously that other coworkers pointed it out (but he still refused to acknowledge me). In the beginning I thought he didn’t respect me because i was fairly new and that he was maybe just too busy to train me but it turned out that he spend most of his time chatting with other coworkers about his weekend including newer ones that started weeks later than me and that didn’t even work with or for him.

I therefore took his behaviour towards me as an indirect rejection and therefore gave him the cold shoulder but remained professional still. Now he sometimes acts jumpy or irritated around me, stares past me when he greet me, gives me the most uninterested look when he talks to me, most likely shit talks me to other coworkers that don’t even know me while being charming with everyone else. On other occasions he tried to act very nice, stared be smiled like a creep, asked me silly questions he could easily look up himself or talked to me looking at the ground as if he felt ashamed of something.

What is his problem and why does he switch from his usual self to arrogant prick around me? Does he think I’m too unattractive or not smart enough to deserve his attention? I admit that I’m not the fastest learner but I’m definitely not the dumbest person in the office either.
