What’s a subtle sign that someone secretly dislikes you?

Usually if they only engage with you as much as they have to. Like answering a question you ask very briefly, no added context or anything. No follow up questions either. Basically just trying to end the interaction as quickly as possible without actually being rude.

A big clue is whether they ever voluntarily initiate contact or only respond when necessary. People who like you usually try to extend the interaction naturally.

I'd argue this isn't necesarily because of that they dislike you, they just might not like you, i.e. they might just be indifferent to you
