I’m worried that people dislike me at work. I’m very quiet and only talk when I’m spoken to first (kinda bad habit). I sometimes forget to smile. Do people actually dislike me or is it normal for people to mirror expressions of other people?
I do all of my work properly (I’m a chef), im never late or rude. I’m hygienic. But everyone seems annoyed with me (im 17f)

Smiling is how you would signal that you’re approachable, that you like people, that you’re enjoying yourself. Obviously you don’t need to smile 24/7, but smiling a little more often will improve your Likeability Quotient. Especially smile when making eye contact with co-workers.
I try to avoid ppl who never smile cuz it seems like they dont want to be bothered. Just start forcing yourself to smile. Youll get used to it
