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