If you’re not the apple of your boss’s eye, don’t sulk! Ask the right questions, of yourself!
Just because you haven’t been told, doesn’t imply there’s no problem. Being less friendly could be his way of expressing disapproval. Talk it out and be open to criticism. Figure out the traits he really values. It could be these traits, in someone else, which make you call him unfair and biased… If this doesn’t help, you need to re-look at your work. If you like what you do and such preferential behaviour doesn’t affect your job potential, then putting up with such a boss by merely overlooking isn’t that bad an idea. Charging your boss with it would only lead to tension at work.
Managing your work is definitely a stated objective, but managing your boss is a primary unstated favour that you owe to yourself. So, if he’s low on EI, you might as well think a little on his behalf. Since he would rarely realise the impact of his decisions on your life, you may set the limit by making him realise it the next time he throws work at you when the day is about to get over! And, if your work is awaiting his approval, you may give him direction and structure, instead of silently getting angry at him.
By virtue of becoming a boss, a person comes under scrutiny, even when it’s not due. Maybe it is time to act and not judge him, for it’s likely that you may not be doing your ‘job’ i.e. thinking for him.
