How do you know if people are genuinely nice or just doing so out of politeness?

You just kinda can tell, and if you can't, you probably never will be able to.
If the person is personally vested in you somehow, actually cares about you, or has some kind of connection to you, it's probably genuine niceness. If not, probably just socially-obligatory politeness.
if you know you're awkward as hell and you dress and smell like a sperg, probably the latter.

It's easy to tell when it's happening to other people, but with me I'm just not sure.

The only way I know to be sure is to ask them to hang out with you a few times in quick succession. If they want to hang out with you they genuinely like you, if they go maybe one time but dodge around hanging out again they're just being polite.

I can tell after a little bit, but with people I encounter only once or twice, I will never know.
And I refuse to believe anyone in a paid position is genuinely nice to me - they get paid to utilize customer service, so it's never real.
