You might want to examine your motives if you are thinking of challenging your co-worker's lack of enthusiasm ... maybe you are wanting to change her or 'fix' her and maybe it really is about your own discomfort. Just thinking out loud ...

No, I don't feel discomfort because that is her.
Many times people don't know what they are doing, that is why there are others who can help them to realize maybe what they are doing is disrespectful or realize they would feel more positive to change that behavior. Not all the time though...
