This always seems happen. I'm reliable, timely, don't cause drama. People always seem friendly and want to talk then a few months or sometimes a year down the line I feel as if they aren't as friendly. I try to make brief conversation but if they don't seem interested I back off. I then totally withdraw and become an outsider feeling like everyone hates me or are whispering about me.

I feel the same way and just made a thread about it.
I try to make brief conversation and people don't seem interested, so I back off and go back to my desk. There are a few people who are always friendly.
Unless you have a lot of charisma or are people's cup of tea, I really don't think most people have any interest in really listening to what you have to say. I mean, some people will, but most not.

Other people can talk for hours about their kids or dogs and people seem so engaged. Stories that go on and on. I keep mine brief but nobody seems to care. I feel so unliked all the time. When I was younger and attractive (although I never thought I was) I now imagine maybe people were jealous but now I'm 40 and 40 lbs overweight so I doubt that's the reason.
You asked "Why do coworker always seem to like me at first and then get weird?" and I gave you an answer based on your past postings. It sounds like you don't think that's the reason why everyone , not just one or two people, shuns you. Maybe it IS something else but, except through your postings, noone here knows you from Adam.
Jaypee is just bringing up a valid point. Maybe you don't mention things like that in the work place, but if you have a habit of talking about them online, perhaps you say things at the office and don't even realize it. Clearly you have strong feelings about certain co-workers as your previous threads have exhibited.
I'm not saying that's why they don't seem to like you, but maybe you should take a look in the mirror and see if maybe, just maybe you might be saying things or having a certain attitude that is causing your co-workers opinions about you to change.
I don't say anything. Nobody knows how I think. And the person who is always late and calling in (not anymore so she must have been warned) is the one that talks to me all the time.

Then maybe it's all of them just being jerks? Your thread title says "Why do coworkers always seem to like me at first" which implies that this job isn't the first one in which this happens. With that said, if it's happening at multiple jobs, surely it isn't just the coworkers, is it?
People tell me I suffer from paranoia and misread people (like maybe they are just having a bad day) and then I withdraw myself and people think that I'm just antisocial.
