I don't think this girl is rude.

If anything, OP and her daughter are not reading non-verbal cues correctly, which is in itself a bit rude.

The non-verbal cue is that this girl is using physical distance to indicate she's not ready to talk in the morning.

Any psychologist or therapist would tell you that this is a valid construct others need to respect. OP and her daughter need to respect it. The other girl has her reasons for not being willing to engage in the morning. That's perfectly fine. When she's an adult, she'll have to go to work, and say hi to her boss when she comes in. She won't need to say hi to anyone else on her way to work. Let's not put any additional pressure on a child than we would put on an adult.

And I can well believe the OP and her daughter are anxious types. Only someone with social anxiety would make such a mountain out of a molehill!

+1000 - the girl does not want to talk to OP's daughter. OP's daughter is the one not reading the social cues. OP - please apply this rule next time you are on an airplane too. Not everybody wants to talk. [/quote]
