>Have you ever asked yourself what you “add” to your friend group?Not every waking second, but occasionally the thought crosses my mind from time to time. Is it that odd to want to make sure you're a positive addition to a group? Even without Shimada present the crux of the matter remains the same. It's not like connections are formed instantaneously the moment people meet, I know it takes time to leave an impression on a person. But if the biggest one you believe you can make on a person is 'that guy who hangs out with us sometimes', is it wrong to be slightly hesitant in joining?
