They seem concerned about the spotlight being on the obligation player but they aren't really that much of a go-getter when it comes to roleplay or anything like that.

I had a player like this once. In any social situation, his character would just skulk at the back of the group not saying anything. And that's fine, but then he complained to me one day that it was unfair that other PCs had all kinds of friends and his didn't.
