When Did Modest Clothing Become "Pick Me" Behavior?
<p><br/></p><p>Modesty in clothing used to mean dressing simply, covering up, and focusing on comfort or personal values over showing off. It was about humility and self-respect, often tied to culture, religion, or personal choice. But recently, some people call modest dressing "pick me" behavior—acting like someone’s trying too hard to seem "different" or "pure" to get attention, especially from men. </p><p><br/></p><p>This shift comes from social media and changing trends. On platforms like Instagram , fashion is often bold and revealing to grab likes and followers. Choosing modest clothes—like long skirts or loose tops—can stand out, but not always positively. Some see it as a calculated move to appear "better" or "unique," like a tactic to win approval. For instance, a woman might wear a modest outfit, but others might label it "pick me" because they think she’s playing a role to seem virtuous. And what hurts and baffles me the most is women calling other women pick me's.</p><p><br/></p><p>The problem is our quick-to-judge culture. Online, people assume everyone’s performing, so genuine modesty in clothing gets mistaken for a ploy. The term "pick me" is also overused, especially to criticize women’s choices, which blurs what modesty really means. True modest dressing is about personal comfort and values, not seeking validation. The challenge is sticking to your style when society misreads it as something it’s not.</p>
