Trust me -- people can detect your self-loathing. People have evolved to be emotion-detectors.
When you project that self-loathing, people sense it. And no one wants to be dragged into the morass of a stranger's emotional jungle, so they skip on the pleasantries ... or do the pleasantries and then get the hell out.
You need to forgive yourself. I don't think anything in your life will change until you do that.
