Christine never felt inadequate. Contrary to that belief, not everyone wants/needs their ego fed. Her ex, John McVie has a similar sensibility.

As I said before, if you look at interviews she gave during the 1970s, Christine made fun of all the hysteria/attention Stevie was getting. She wanted no part of it, and seemed relieved and very content in not bearing the brunt of public attention. That, itself, is natural for certain types of people.

Christine wanted respect -- not popularity, excessive publicity, and obsessive fandom. That's is what Stevie wanted/needed, and she got it. It was fated in a sense, since Stevie is not tied to an instrument, so her role in the band was more about visual dramatics.
