It’s sad, but some black women still feel the need to compete amongst themselves for a lot of things: men, better jobs, attention, whatever. When people in general feel insecure about themselves, it’s easier to find others to help spread the misery—or they just spread it themselves in the form of ‘joaning’, as you call it. There is nothing wrong with being quiet and/or nerdy. What matters is that you stay true to yourself and continue to show respect for yourself and others. When these people see that it isn’t easy to rattle you, their comments will subside because it will require too much energy to persist.
