Suck it the fuck up, exchange a hello and move the fuck on like the rest of us
Your feelings arent special or unique

Just be the first to say something and see if they trip up. Like sometimes I'll be like how are ya, and theyll say something generic like hey. Then, mentally they're fucked up because they just completely bombed that social interaction. Never give them the chance to trip you up

Or use some elder scrolls type greeting. "Evening, traveler". Bonus points if you wear a cape at work

Be an autistic asshole and just walk past without looking or saying anything. They'll respect you.

Walk with exaggerated pelvic thrusts from one end of the office to the other. Pump your fists back and forth as well. Nobody will be brave enough to look you in the eye. Problem solved.

This. Office interactions are always NPC tier, you might as well poke fun at how ridiculous these canned situations are.

Absolutely devilish.

I literally can't imagine being this socially retarded.

I don't say shit to them if I don't wanna talk to them, and if I do, I say something.

Then again I'm the low-inhibition type that's always fucking with my coworkers so there's that.
