I think that's one of the most endearing parts of her character, and I'd say Sunset's suffering is the highlight of Equestria Girls.

Think about it. Most fanfics tend to focus on her regret about her bullying, her broken relationship with Celestia, feeling homesick or without a plan for the future or how it would've been like to be a lost teenager in a whole new world.

The best EQG stories focus on her pain. Rainbow Rocks and Friendship Games are considered the best movies, and they're the ones where Sunset is not in control, where she's trying to redeem herself or feeling completely lost and frustrated (not to mention the scrapped script of her feeling like she didn't belong and wanting to return to Equestria)

And the specials? People consider Forgotten Friendship and Sunset's Backstage Pass as the best ones. Again, the ones where Sunset suffers the most.

What makes her cool is seeing her constantly falling, getting kicked on the floor and humilliated but still going, still getting back up and pushing forward. Because we see her fall so low, we appreciate whenever she rises back up.

Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky.
