Ok, maybe he didnt lean in to the tryina to win anyone's favor bit of a pick me, but I think he went pretty hard on the "im not like other girls" aspect of it. His acknoledgment and also strange kind of superiority over naruto (or his acting but not necessarily believing like he was better. I guess i'd say his haughty attitude?) also showed his insecurity and jealousy, which also felt like it aligned with pick me girl behavior. He def has more depth than a pick me, but there r def ways he acts like one

Chani chani is the male version of a pick me
