Is the project something you will become responsible for?

Is that a responsibility you want to have, or is it a burden that is being thrust upon you?

Well, I think if it's truly a responsibility you want, you will work to live up to it as best you can.

That's excellent, not many people can say that! It's starting to sound more and more like an opportunity for you to prove yourself :-)

It will be to say the least. I might have to deal with people I don't like and who don't like me

That's an unfortunate part of most group projects, I hate to say. Interpersonal communication can be so hard. I have been a project manager in the past, and found that you have to consider Person XYZ did not wake up in the morning and decide to make your life harder. And as long as you can keep things polite and professional, everyone gets to go home separately, thankfully! Haha

Foster the people around you that can provide you support, be a reliable producer and leader, and you will find that those that don't like you will move on. And, most importantly, you can only control how you respond/behave. If someone wants to instigate conflict, that will reflect poorly upon them.

So avoid them if they get hostile with me?

You can only engage with what abuse and hostility you accept. If you smile in response, it will make you feel better than if you internalize their aggression.
