Those kinds of things would make anyone think that they aren't liked, especially someone with tattered confidence like Hachiman.
Can you really include Yui, though? Yukino certainly doesn't spare any words to let Hachiman hear just how miserable he is, but I don't think Yui does much of that sort. She's still trying to maintain her relationship with the more popular people, but she's not avoiding Hachiman at all. Add to that the fact Hachiman knows she is, or was, romantically interested in him. He just couldn't accept it (he wouldn't be Hachiman if he had). I feel sorry for Yui when watching this show.
