a standstill
A standstill is a person who’s too lazy to talk and too scared to leave a group. They stand there like a statue, hoping no one will notice they’re a waste of space.
My cousin at the family reunion. He stood there like a ghost for three hours.
The kid in homeroom who never says a word. He’s like a ghost with no personality.
My neighbor’s dog. It stands in the middle of the street like it owns the place.
