Trying to hard sometimes can just make it worse. I can see why you may want to be liked at work because you may spend more time with these people then you do with the ones you know outside of work. The best way to start is to just be yourself because being to anxious could seem alittle weird. Just get to know the employees around you so that you show an interest in them. Ask them questions about themselves and maybe show alittle insight here and there. Try not to look like you know it all and be a good listener. After communicating with them for awhile you will find out their interests and later maybe you can suggest getting together. Good Luck because it can be difficult being the new one!!

How to be liked? Then at work? Hmm. Be very humorous - serious and cooperative. If you can muck in then good for you - the more the merrier. If you are good at organising parties and get togethers then do so - department football matches, weekend outings to mystery destinations - all make for fun collegues and are memorable too.
If you are not a leader then think its best to stay on the right side of the boss. Be open towards new things and methods in working practices. It's not that you have to remove your clothing to fit in - we are not all the same but then doing business is almost always the same and etiquette is best ticket here. Good luck.

Totally depends on your type of job.
In my job, I have to edit and critique other people's work, and enforce deadlines. Needless to say, I'm not always the most popular person.
However, I am at work to advance my career, not make best friends. I've learned over the years that by being friendly and reasonable (while editing work and enforcing deadlines) I earn respect from my coworkers while advancing in my career.
There's a great book (if you're female) called Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office. It helps you find that delicate balance between being nice and being a pushover.

I find that smiling is a good method, just keep a smile on your face in any dealings with co workers, it is hard to be angry or feel indifferent even when someone smiles at you.

You should be able to be yourself and make friends where ever you are. And if people don't like you remember you are there to make money, not friends.

Just be yourself and be friendly and don't gossip.
