Well, next time, be more specific so this way we can avoid misinterpreting, don't you think? Insecure? How exactly did you get this idea?
Divine truth? Seems like you didn't answer a single one of my questions, but that's ok as well.
Well, then, you should criticize others that present an opinion as a fact. What about those who say she's useless? I haven't seen you criticizing those users. You seem only to criticize those who bring her good points. Hmm, you were calling me biased?
I could argue about illogical feelings with Sakura, however, the point here was not his feelings for her, the point there was how they both express themselves emotionally, towards their common point: Sasuke. Whereas people seem to only blame Sakura, Naruto is not to be blamed, though, they both do the same thing. Run for Sasuke, in a way or another.
Maybe, at first she would be like you say, however, in time, she will notice by his acts. Why do you think 540 happened? Sakura is acknowledging Sasuke is NOT the Sasuke she thought she fell in love with.
And about being aware of others think/feel, I'd argue that as well. You seem to forget how countless times she explained to Sai why Naruto acts a certain way because of his feelings for Sasuke and what Sasuke means to Naruto, as well as defending him in front of K11 that were somewhat making him guilty of not taking care of Sasuke.
See, you probably blame her because she wasn't aware of Naruto's love for her, right? Because this is the majority's opinion and something that can be quite slipping the reader's mind. See, we are the reader, we are the audience. We know everything from every's character point of view. Everyone blames her because she wasn't aware of Naruto's feelings. But, let's take a look in other way.
Everyone's opinion: "Sakura sux! She’s sux cos she won’t appreciate Naruto and his feelings. He’s like doing all these things for her but she throws him away! OMG! That bitch!"
So here’s the thing: she never actually knew (until Sai revealed it to her) that Naruto even liked her — in a serious way. In a romantic way. In a like-like-like way.*
Naruto’s never actually come close to*confessing*his feelings. In like, ever. And no, I don’t think the Promise of A Lifetime counts (it’s a proof, in some ways, but not an actual confession). Let's not forget about those walls I've been telling you Naruto puts in order to hide his actual true feelings.
I mean, think about it this way: You’re a girl, in love with another guy. You get tunnel vision. All you see is your hair black-haired brooding knight. No one else comes close. No one else really compares. Sakura at 12. And then on the other side there’s your dunce of a teammate. Who likes annoying you and everybody else, for that matter. And sorry, but you can't deny Naruto wasn't acting all fat-head in his younger days.
You slowly start to see him in a respectable light, albeit reluctantly at first. And then he starts to become your friend, a close friend even. He’s always comforting you, always there for you. That’s what friends do. He asks you out sometimes, but he’s, like, the greatest joker of all time - so you don’t take him seriously. And you think, that’s just his way of showing affection, maybe.*
So when your pale, emotionless friend tells you that ‘Hey, girl, that blonde guy, your teammate, yeah? Oh,well, he loves you! Like,*yeah, THAT*way. So you go ‘What? So all this time?...‘* - hence her memories of him. This can also be interpreted other-way around, not just for girls.
Really, communication is a two-way street. Think about how you were as a kid, how you were blind about some things because you were too focused on something else. It’s like that with Sakura too. All she needed was a little nudge to make her see. Because she didn't know. Naruto’s never told her. She may have noticed, but if she has no proof, she can never really tell. Considering how, let's remember, how Naruto is always the joker boy.
Naruto didn't want her to know the extent of his feelings. And I guess he’s content for it to stay that way. But we readers aren’t, as we can see. Because we know how he feels. But Sakura didn't.*We’re the audience. So try to remember that before going OMG, that biiitch!
I mean, you seem like a person that's quite different than the other members around here that act child-ish calling her all that names. You seem like a guy who could actually see what's behind the curtain, see from a character's perspective, so on and so forth.
Dunno, that's the impression you gave me along the way. Albeit, maybe I was wrong.
As for doing some guesswork. She was 12. How exactly are we mature at 12? How exactly do we know if we act good or bad with the one around us? Considering Naruto. Let's not always blame Sakura. Yes, she had her faults, hell, I even told them myself, although you called me biased, but also, let's look around at the evironement.
Let's look at the cause, not the effect. Everybody accused Sakura for acting in a certain way, but how many looked at the cause of her actions? Sure, it's easier to blame, rather than to do a little investigation to try to see what's behind the curtain, the reason, to try to understand.
