The term pick me is used for people who specifically drag attention to themselves. Wanting people to feel sorry for them or just being sorry individuals themselves.
Example: “Man, that guy Taron is such a Pick me ass nigga”.
The term "pick-me" generally refers to a person, typically a woman, who attempts to gain validation from men by appearing to be different from or less threatening to other women, often at the expense of those same women. This validation is often sought through acts or statements that imply they are "not like other girls" and align themselves with male interests or perspectives. The term is often used in a derogatory way, implying that the person is being disingenuous and seeking attention by appearing to be "one of the boys" or superior to other women.
Ex: “Syerra is such a pick me”
