I don't think that was a lack of perceptiveness, though, I think it was a much deeper ambivalence about what was happening and her lack of a role with regards to it.

First, keep in mind Nancy asked her to be there. Second, her actions came out of the fact that no she knew it was kind of a mistake for Nancy (because Steve was a dick bag) (and again not wrong about that) and because it was sort of against what a Nancy had previously said. In a predictable way, but still. So to me, it's Barb doing her best to navigate an ambiguous situation, where she clearly feels she doesn't belong, and trying to figure out what obligation she owes to her friend, in a totally novel scenario for her her, and in a situation she wouldn't even have been in if not for Nancy. And that doesn't even get into what must have been her fear about Nancy leaving her behind, and all the double edged feelings that have to go into it. So, sure, she was a third wheel, but that's Nancy's fault, not Barb's, and Barb was doing her best to deal with it.

I'm not saying it was a mature approach. But, like, it's also very relatable, and also Barb was a damn teenager.
