He acts stiff, sometimes cold towards me as if I was his tyrant boss. When I am alone with him on a confined space (elevator for instance) he pushes himself in a corner and keeps looking at the ground while mumbling.
Other times he just acts really cold, indifferent or slightly annoyed or pretends he doesn’t notice me. Did I do something to him? Or does he think I think he likes me and therefore tries to make a wide berth around me?
He is confident and sociable with everyone else so it has to do with me. He is also not shy to flirt with other female coworkers despite being married with kids so he is most likely not afraid of metoo

I feel like I would need more background info on both of you for me to make sense of his behavior. Have you worked there for long? Could you be seen as competing with him - for a position for example, or in a project? Also what sets you apart from your other female coworkers?
He is my supervisor and I’m a working student. The other female coworkers are older than me and have known him for over a decade. With the youngest and prettiest of them (late thirties) he has an extramarital affair everyone knows about and he seems very proud of it
Knowing all of that makes me think it's simply something to do with your personality. For whatever reason, he doesn't like it and finds it hard to hide it. Honestly coming from a man his age (I assume he's at least 10 years older than you), it's quite weird, but not unheard of.
He doesn’t know my personality that well to dislike me that much. He is 45 years old and we never had lunch or anything, we only exchanged 1 to 2 sentences that were strictly necessary for work and he is usually easy going
He openly dislikes me and talks shit about me to his side chick but watches me interact with other coworkers and then he wants tk talk to me and act nice
he doesn't trust u or is an awkward person
How does he not trust me? What is he afraid of? I never did anything to him and he is much nicer to everyone he just met
some people doesn't need a valid reason to be that way
Could just be an odd person.
He is not socially awkward and everyone likes him. To me however he is just impolite and when he sees me in the hall he just looks past me but with everyone else he talks like an old friend
Maybe he doesn’t see it that way. How does he act cold or annoyed?
While he is charming with everyone else, he talks to me in an annoyed tone, keeps conversation short, looks at his phone several times and looks at me as if I was bothering him even though I rarely ask him anything. He is usually very polite but with me he tries to show me how disinterested he is. Also sometimes when he has to walk past me he greets me but looks past me in a moody way as if we had a fight.
On other occasions he clams up and looks at the ground as if he is ashamed of his behaviour
I think you’re thinking too hard about this. Besides, who cares what he thinks of you?
Me because he turned other coworkers against me. He has an affair with a fellow coworker and now she hates me too for whatever reason
Are you sure you’re not just like…feeling victimized?
No. Others have pointed it out too that he hardly speaks to me
And all of those people that dislike me are his closest friends that have nothing to do with me
Do you often feel like people around you dislike you?
No most people who talk to me are fine with me
It’s just him and people who don’t know me (but him)
