User blog comment:Zane Nidias John L.V. II/why the seddie kiss had build up (unlike what i've heard creddiers claim)/@comment-3530333-20110410060233/@comment-3233010-20110410154156

sam could be insecure towards freddie while not any other crushes/boyfriends for a few reasons, i think.

the three she liked so far (i think it's only three, excluding freddie) had respectable qualities. pete seemed to be a jock/skate boarder type person (which in and of itself commands respect from teens). jonah was a bully (if i recall correctly), which means he forces other to respect him, even though the ones who does that to are weaker than himself. spencer had earned her trust a long time ago through either one event that helped her, or over the course of time being the adult male figure she never had. and freddie... the physically weak tech nerd from the AV club. the nub whose only friend was his mother. he, to put it simply, didn't deserve any respect from sam (from her point of view). that's how it started. now, even if she started liking him somewhere in the middle, she has two problems.

1) she's not really good at expression emotions to others, and it was much easier to just keep doing what she was doing (bullying him) than to try to change something that worked for everyone (since freddie never seemed to have any serious complaints, and told her it'd be weird if she stopped bullying him).

and 2) freddie was in love with carly. when the person you have a secret crush on is in love with another girl, and continuously expresses it in front of you over the past four years, it kinda means the chances of them returning your feelings is slim to none. that also could create frustration (on sam's part), which she just channeled through the completely natural and already accepted form of bullying freddie.

well, that's my take. sorry i wasn't here 6 hours ago, i was sleeping.
