She is a pairing fodder. So you're telling me she doesn't want to be paired up with Naruto anymore? I'm sorry, but are we even reading the same manga anymore? What do you mean she doesn't want to be with Naruto anymore? Since when did she stop wanting to be with him? We already saw what was in her dream, and it was of her leaning on Naruto on a bench that had a romantic atmosphere. She clearly wants to be paired up with Naruto and for you to deny that is just baffling.
The part of her story that involved wanting acknowledgement from others is all but gone down the drain. Haven't you heard? This girl has a one track mind, nothing else matters to her it seems. Her character does revolve around Naruto because when ever this single minded character appears on panel it's nothing but Naruto. You're right, she does want to improve herself and she has. But the improvement is so insignificant that's it's laughable. The constant thoughts about Naruto, the never ending pursuit of wanting to be by him forever, all of that stuff comes out as being desperate for the D. It certainly doesn't come off as wanting to earn it, but more as forcing it. Her thoughts are assertive, and that's no surprise since she's a selfish character, intentional or not.
She isn't a pairing fodder. She doesn't want to be paired up with everyone. But if she did, she would choose Naruto, and only Naruto. This doesn't mean that they are going to be paired with each other in the manga, it just means that she has feelings for him. I didn't mean that she doesn't want to be with Naruto anymore. Her wanting to be with Naruto was always there, because of how much he affected her life in a drastic way (which involved trying to get acknowledgement from others). Not for shallow reasons like his looks, or his coolness. When she loves, she really means it, because she looks at what she sees inside not outside. (Even though she didn't know him very well, she could see that he had a lot of potential). She's always believed in him, because she's his role model. That turned into a deep admiration, that she labels as love. At this point in the manga (since she confessed and all that) she does want to have the chance to have a romantic relationship with him. (Even though it's all in her head xD)
But she's not pushing herself on to him. She's waiting for an answer. And whatever the answer is, she won't let it bother her, because she's an understanding person. Hinata may not have developed well in the series, but she DOES try hard. And her love for Naruto doesn't change that part about her, in fact, it usually strengthens it. And even if Naruto doesn't love her back, she will still feel for him, and who knows? Maybe she'll get to know him more as a person. So no, she's not desperate about him. She just loves him. She's not forcing anything, so that's just plain false. Her love for him isn't shallow, and when it is selfish, it is unintentional, because she's doing it out of care for him.
Just like when Sakura gave that fake confession to Naruto. She didn't mean to hurt him, or make problems worse, she did it out of concern for Naruto's safety and happiness. She was desperate and hurt, and she wanted to make things better. This doesn't make her a bad person, it just means she didn't make a very good choice.
She isn't a selfish character at heart, she cares about a lot of people in her life. She loves Naruto, but it doesn't rule her entire life. Just because Hinata thinks about Naruto a lot, doesn't mean she's a bad and selfish character who cares about no one but herself and Naruto getting together, because again, her love for Naruto doesn't stoop to that low level. She does have selflessness with other people in her life (probably a lot more than for Naruto even, since Naruto's barely ever there in her life). A lot of her character does revolve around Naruto in the manga, but she also does have a life outside of what is always shown. This can be easily inferred for ALL the characters - they all have their own lives. But this manga is about Naruto and his life, which is why Hinata's crush on Naruto is emphasized.
Again, are we reading the same manga? It's not just a a crush she has on Naruto because if it was than her obsession for him would be even more pathetic than it is now. And no, I'm not saying she doesn't have the right to think about him. But my god, she thinks about this guy in every panel she's on. Sakura used to think about Sasuke a lot in part 1, but now Naruto clearly takes precedence over Sasuke, that much is obvious.
Having a crush = loving them. I said that Hinata loves him (I dunno why I said lurrves~). I'm guessing that her love for Naruto bothers you a lot more than it should. I agree that it's dumb, but you can't stop her from feeling that way, when this is the guy that's indirectly helped her through a lot of her "issues". And yeah, Naruto means a lot more to Sakura than Sasuke does at this point.
...But seriously. I don't understand what's wrong with the females in this show.. Why begin to like a guy that's a douche half the time? And why like a guy you barely know, and don't even try to get to know? 
That's good. But guess what? There are other things in Naruto's life outside of his feelings for Sakura, so it's not really all that surprising that he "doesn't rub the fact that he's soo in love with her every single second". Can't say the same for Hinata, because she's a Naruto clone that worships him.
True. Hinata does practically worship him. She's aware of other things in her life as well, but when it comes to Naruto, he takes up almost all her attention. Which is why her love for him, although it's true in her eyes, has a lot of flaws on the outside.
So now you're giving Hinata an excuse over the excessive thoughts of Naruto, which is like every panel she's on? Ok. There's a distance between them because instead of actually making an attempt to build a better relationship with him, she uses that time to have more thoughts of him. Shikamaru and Temari aren't even from the same village and look how close they are. Once again, Hinata has no excuses, and seeing you attempt to come up with some is not even funny anymore, it's just painful now.
What I meant by this, is that she doesn't have the ability in her to really interact with him as a person. She's too shy to do that. She's on the sidelines watching him most of the time. She spends her time fantasizing about him, because he's not really in her reach at all. And it seems, that's perfectly fine with her. She doesn't want to need a close relationship with him, to care about him a lot. If they were on the same team, her love for him would've been much truer because she'd get to know him more as a person. I'm not trying to make up an excuse for her thinking about Naruto all the time, I already told you that she thinks about him a lot because she loves/admires him a lot. But she's a background character, and she's not close to Naruto, like she wished she was. Thus: excessive thinking about him.
I'm not saying it's a good thing at all. She doesn't understand that to really love a person you do have to get to know them.
And Shikamaru and Temari don't have any insecurity or shyness issues. If I didn't mention it before, let me just say, that Hinata's character is flawed. She's working on it, but not doing a very good job on it. She still needs a good amount of confidence, if she wants to get anywhere. What I'm just saying is, that although she has these issues, she does have a selfless attitude towards everyone. And this is true.
Wow. Really? Look, I was really enjoying this little debate we were having, but if that's what you truly believe then there's really no point in furthering this discussion. I now know where you stand and you know where I stand, and it doesn't seem like neither of our words will sway our opinion on the matter. I concede.
...
That really wasn't meant to be taken seriously 
But Sakura's just... she's a girl centered around love. Her character started out as a girl who fangirled a lot about a guy. Then she became that heartbroken girl that soon falls in love with the guy who's always been there for him, and she's always been there for her. She's also had a ton of character development, but she's definitely a girl that's easy to pair up, because everyone loves her. She's strong, beautiful, confident... everything Hinata probably wishes to be lol
I really do see where you're coming from in your posts, but try and think about what I'm trying to convey here about Hinata as a whole character. Hinata does have the ability to be a great kunoichi. She has flaws, but she's very gentle and kind as a person, to everyone. She doesn't judge anyone, doesn't hold grudges on others. Sometimes she's a little too kind an forgiving, but that's just in her character. Hinata is better in plenty of ways than Sakura, but I'm not saying Sakura's character is worser than Hinata's. Not one bit. They're both two strong females, similar and different, and worthy of being really great in the future.
(Sakura's probably way better though.)
It's funny how we're arguing about a bunch of fictional characters so seriously..
But if you really wish not to continue the discussion, you don't have to reply.
Have a nice day 
, actually although we all have different opinions but they are never on that level of confusion, I think that he need to read more carefully the manga and not enter in paronia xD well I think that he has a lot to learn about women, we are more complicated than he imagines.
