Dont let this get to you. First, think of the possibility that they didnt hear you perhaps ...or maybe they werent even listening at all.
Dont always assume that their indifference was directed at you personally. Dont beat yourself up.
If they did intentionally shun you, then...so be it. Rise above and be the better person!
Dont let their sour attitude ruin your great day!
Cheers!

Don't judge people by their reaction.
I used to be one of those people. I was not really the "ice queen" I just had been abused and found myself afraid to look at people or return that "hi." It has been a long journey and I still struggle to be the smiling social girl.
You don't know who is shy, who is fearful, or who is terribly hurt or sad. Don't take it personally, keep on being friendly.

Me too. That's why I hate to say hi first fearing they won't reply. I will look at them to detect any form of recognition from them before giving them a smile.

Everyday!
I stare at them just in case they crack and then I say "Good morning!!"
It is another example of this lazy *** generation that refuses to keep social repoire with civilized people. I understand avoiding the dangerous type, but we are grade school teachers! What is so strenuous about "hello"?

Yes, it is so rude. When on the other hand someone saying hello to me with a smile or holding a door for me just can make my day.

Yes, and after that I made sure to completely ignore them.
