Perhaps you should write a list of those features of your being that you feel make you unlikeable. After you are done, you can then read the list and perform reality tests. Hopefully, you will find that your list is unrealistic and full of cognitive distortions. You'll know that the list contains cognitive distortions because people do indeed like you. It is only logical.
I am sorry that you should experience such an existential crisis. I doubt that there is much I could say that will change your state of mind. Let it pass.
