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.

Well, the actress herself felt differently, but okay.

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.
