is it because of the “pick me, choose me, love me” thing or does she actually behave like a pick me?

    I did. Though it was a little rushed the last book, i like it when things are drawn out more, I’m used to 800 plus page novels so that’s probably just me

    In history?

    No.

    She’s literally the popular origin of the term though (or at least so commonly credited it might as well be fact).

    Whether it’s fair to her character that worse versions of the type exist her speech is why it’s a phrase.

    I’ve been binging Grey’s (currently on the Covid season) and wouldn’t consider Mer to be a “pick me girl”. Especially after Derek, she has focused on her career and family and only has occasional flings. Her self esteem doesn’t come from any sort of external validation.

    A quote from this season about Mer sums it up well: You’ve always been your own person. A force of nature. You’ve never needed anyone but you.

        The article does not say that the actress felt that Meredith was a “pick me girl”. It highlighted one specific scene that she felt was cringe, but fans of the show loved.

          Sure, she only said it was cringe for one of the primary reasons that pick me girls are cringe.

          Weird hill to die on, but you do you.

            I think our definition of “pick me girl” is different which is why we’re not seeing eye-to-eye.

              I’m the Dragon Lance novels Kitiara is character that has bonded with an adult blue dragon calles Sky i think.

              You two areguing makes me think you are about bond with each other, as kitiara didnt start out as one of rhe bad guys but ended up being a major person in the evil army

              Just a coincidence in your names but amusing to me for the coincidence of it

                It’s been entirely too long since I read those books!

                I didn’t think me and the other guy were arguing, though. There were no bad feelings.
