What is really happening?
Watch this thread
There is a female German PhD in my hall building. During the autumn semester, she was very friendly to me. She greeted me with so a warm smile whenever she saw me that one of my flatmates asked if I had a relationship with her. Before Christmas, I even wrote her a Christmas card as a sign of kindness, the content plain & simple - nothing remotely romantic.
Until the 1st half of January this year, she still greeted in the same way as she did in the autumn semester. However, since the 2nd half of January, she has no longer greeted me. She pretends I am transparent whenever we come across each other. She appears to stay away from me for some unknown reasons. I don't know if someone has ever spread any rumour against me, making her wary of any contact with me.
I am not a pervert. I treat everyone with respect. I have never harassed girls just as I do not mess around in pubs. I have never antagonised anyone without good reasons as well. I really don't get what happened. I am not even seeking friendship or likewise but hoping to know if there is something I upset anyone.
It hurts a lot when I am struggling with emotional problems myself. It is not fair to me either as a kind person. I want to know what happened...

There can be many reasons which may not have necessarily occurred as a consequence to your actions. Maybe she's going through something traumatic, or maybe she was waiting for you to initiate a conversation but you didn't so she perceived you as not being interested.
In any case, I don't think its your fault as long as you have not done nothing to disrespect her.
Don't be too hard on yourself.

I am sure you can make friends too. Don't be too sad because of what others do. Your happiness should be in your own hands.

This doesn’t really make sense, on one hand you’re saying you were cordial acquaintances who shared pleasantries when you ran into each other.
Simultaneously your writing her cards & crying at midnight because she didn’t say hello to you...
Im sorry but this just doesn’t add up. You obviously have feelings for her or something, and it sounds like it must’ve been a lot deeper then the odd smile to you.
Maybe she clocked you were after more then just friendship & is now distancing herself as she isn’t romantically interested in you (which realistically you are/were interested in her...).

So, I don't know what you are talking about.

Ask her what happened.
Ask her what happened.
OP: It’s perfectly fair for them to choose not to interact with you. You’ve fostered this situation by becoming emotionally attached to someone whom you exchanged the odd polite pleasantry with.

Presumably this will be the latest in a long line of “I refuse to ask them, but please guess as to why this might be” threads.

Excuse me, I don't understand. Would you mind being more precise?

I’m concerned that you think there are “good reasons” to antagonise someone.

Because that seems like a very odd, specific choice of words that you used.

So you've waited 4 months to ask this question, and put it to a bunch of random strangers on the internet rather than asking the person concerned; why?

I think you are getting a bit of a rough ride on here but I think maybe you could have asked her earlier on if everything was okay or some such comment. What stage of uni are you at?
