Some ladies heard the term “pick me” and now use it for anything. Like I can’t say it’s mean to call some random man in the subway ugly without my friend calling me a pick me for it

I’d give them this look and be like “if I were you I’d use words where I actually know the definition of it”

I only use pick me for a very specific type of girl, one that objectively favors men over women, even if those men treat her terribly. I once had a friend who treated me and her other female friends like we were acquaintances, and treated the one or two male friends she had like her besties, to the point of almost stalking then we had to sit her down and say “hey, we aren’t feeling super appreciated, and you’re not being a good friend” and she just never understood it :(

the internet has and will continue watering down the meaning of terms to fit the needs of every single person who wants to use it. and shitty people will continue to find ways to avoid accountability for their shitty behavior. these two things happening at the same time has led to shitty people constantly misusing terms, esp therapy terms, to “justify” their shitty behavior towards others

My last straw was she left me drunk in a club to go hang with a known SAer, who she said SA’d her, and ofc we believe her so we like tell her to stay away but she’s obsessed with him and wouldn’t listen to us. Moreover she knows I was literally assaulted earlier in the year and still left me alone :/ that kinda ended our friendship

I’m sorry dude. That’s so way beyond pick me to just a straight up negligent abusive “friend” I’m glad she’s not in your life anymore

Will do 💪 especially bc I have genuinely good female friends who respect and adore each other, I just hope that one day she’s able to grow from her immaturity and internalized misogyny y’know?

I’m not sure, her fanily kinda coddles her, like she’ll complain about her mom cutting her off the credit card bc she dropped 1k on doordash in a month, but she lost her father who she was close with 4 years ago, and I know that to lose a family member so young must have some effect on her My friends and I tried to show her compassion and guide her to be a more respectful and kind friend, and we gave her a lot of chances, but she also isn’t pro-choice which we found out after she abandoned me 💀

Losing your dad and being coddled will definitely mess you up as a functioning human being

True, but it’s especially hard bc one of the girls in the group was physically and emotionally abused for a decade, and she still grew up kind and compassionate, but i think everyone handles it differently

It’s kinda like how children of alcoholics typically go one of two ways either they become alcoholics or they become almost alcohol phobic
