You are definitely over-thinking this, and jumping to conclusions. Nowhere is it stated her strength comes from wanting Arima to praise her, she wouldn't have been in the CCG at the age of 16 if that was all there was to her.

Beyond that, you do realize she is the only female character in the series to be interested in Arima? Akira, Kiyoko, Misato, Kuro and Shiro, and Saiko are all portrayed as having zero interest? Instead, we have Amon and Takizawa as total fanboys and the implication such worship is normal for the younger generations.
