I just don't see the point of feeling sorry for her. She was always protected by someone eg. Tatsuki, Ishida etc. and she told herself she'll get stronger for "Kurosaki-kun" but look whats happening.
Just because the HM Arc focuses more on Orihime and her feelings, I have to say, other characters deserve more sympathy from the readers compared to Orihime eg. Matsumoto, Renji, Rukia, Tatsuki etc.
