This is a Positioning question: Standards vs Selection is the pattern that decides what this behavior means.
Quiet Ntel reads this through Positioning, not through emotional guessing. The issue sits in Standards / Too Picky, so the page should separate what appears to be happening from what the structure is doing. The next step is to route the reader toward High Standards vs Unrealistic Standards.
The reader is trying to interpret too picky as a personal verdict instead of reading it as a decision pattern.
