This can be rather challenging as you always want to be liked by others especially your co workers as you want the work place to be a friendly one. A great way which I have found helps is by just being nice and I guess being the better person. I also tend to avoid any interaction with them unless it is fully necessary that seems to help a great deal.

If your coworkers are behaving in ways that make it obvious that they don't like you, they're being unprofessional. Depending on their behaviour, it might be worth raising the issue with HR or management. Perhaps they can run some professional development for everyone on creating a safe, respectful work environment.
If you suspect your coworkers are frustrated with you over something that's happened, consider having an open discussion with them about it. For example, "I feel as if you've been annoyed with me lately. Is there something I've done?" (Really, they should be the ones initiating this discussion and helping to resolve it, but if they don't, you might have to step up.)
Avoid the people who make you feel down and focus on building relationships with others, especially people outside of work. At the end of the day, while you can focus on being a likable person, you can't control whether others like you. In that regard, they're the ones with the problem, not you.

I'd say ignore them, they may try to make your day a living hell but you can just put your attention and energy into your work instead of thinking about them.

I think being extra nice to people who don't like you can go a along way in trying to impress your coworkers

You can never make everyone happy. So you will just have to do your best and if your best is not good enough to some people then maybe they are not worth your time after all.

Try distraction techniques to help you stop thinking about your emotions so much so that they are not piling on top of you so much.

When a co-worker doesn't like you, you can first take her aside so there won't be any onlookers or audience and ask him or her why they don't like you. If he or she doesn't give you a reason, just continue to be professional and acknowledge them whenever you have to interact with them and don't let their dislike bother you because you are there to work and there are other people there to be your friends.

Beat them with kindness. You'll always find people in life who don't like you and people who do. But still be nice to them. If they aren't harming you in anyway, then just continue about your day.

Unfortunately not everybody in life will like you and it can hurt. I would encourage being open with them and maybe asking them if there is a problem. Ultimately just remain professional and get your job done. Unless it is really affecting your work life in which I would contact your manager. Remember that we are our own worst critics and you may be reading into something that isn't there.
