My dad treats me badly, for instance, he closes the door in my face, ignores me when I am talking to him and doesn't give a damn about me. However, he acts so sweat infront of others and is concerned all the time about how others think of him. He treats me so good when people are around but at home, he gives the impression as if we are burden upon him. I really don't know what to do, this issue is stressing me out 24/7

This is a sad situation I have a dad that I have tried to have a relationship w/ for years if I were you and I know it's hard but try to distance yourself from him when you are at home just ignore him like he does you he is either gonna take notice or eventually you will just accept that he's like that he's missing out on a chance to get to know a great kid but trust me it's not you it's just how some dads are you should also try to draw yourself closer to a different family member mom, grandparent, or brother/sister you need some family while going through life if not ur dad someone as you get older it becomes easier to accept I have a selfish dad to
The comment above is correct, you don't say how old you are, but as soon as you reach the age when you can leave home do so. If there is an option to move in with a relative now it might be worth doing.
This is your dad's problem, leave him to stew in his own juice and try to forget about the negative incidents, just get on with your own life.
Some dad's are just awful. His loss.
