Tanya is also prone to misunderstanding people due to relying too much on rationality.

More than that, Tanya is prone to projecting her rationality onto others. It's her most critical flaw at the end of the day, predicting that everyone else will act like she would act in their shoes. You could even arguably say it's what got her into the military in the first place: she assumed that her country's military would sink so low as to conscript a malnourished child like herself, and convinced herself that she had to proactively enlist and secure a safe rearguard position before that happened.

The core tragedy of Tanya is that she expects to be treated with the same pitiless rationality she embraced in her first life. She lives in fear of what she so willingly did to others, and in her desperate attempts to escape that fate she inadvertently dodges the actual empathy and humanity of the people around her, only securing her fate.

She often says that humans are not rational beings, and that's also part of her thinking. She did make the mistake of underestimating people's irrationality a few times, but she does a pretty good job taking it into account. A chuuni mind is something she definitely can't compute, but that's more about caution than rationality. She always tries to see further than the easy answer.

It's more like she assumes a rational person must necessarily be someone with the mindset of an enlightened capitalist looking to maximize their gains or a ruthless salaryman looking to climb the corporate ladder.

And everything is translated into this mindset.
