[Spongebob Squarepants] Does Spongebob ever show awareness of the fact that Squidward hates him?

It’s very obvious that Squidward doesn’t like him. Does Spongebob know this but just not give a shit, or is he just that oblivious?

I get the sense that Spongebob is like a less psycho version of a classic teenage crush story.  He sees Squidward the way Tootie from Fairly OddParents sees Timmy (to use another Nickelodeon example).  Spongebob just keeps trying to be friends despite all the rejection because he as no shame, no filter, and wants to be Squidward's best friend no matter what.  He knows Squidward hates him but surely he just hasn't said the right thing yet.
