What is picky?

"Picky" usually refers to someone who is very selective or finicky about what they eat, wear, watch, listen to, etc. They may have strong preferences and dislikes, and may be difficult to please or satisfy. Picky eaters, for example, may avoid certain foods due to texture, taste, smell, or appearance, and may have a limited range of preferred foods. Picky people may also be indecisive, anxious, or perfectionistic, and may struggle with sensory processing disorder, an eating disorder, or other mental health issues. However, being picky is not always a negative trait, as it can also indicate a high standard of quality, attention to detail, and personal boundaries.
