Was being a wallflower an advantage or a disadvantage for Charlie?

The Wallflower
What is a wallflower? It is what grows only on the outside of the house. Inside the house is life and society. Charlie is a wallflower, but he is not dead. Throughout the book, he is portrayed as a sidekick. He is not the main character, as one would expect him to be; his life revolves around his best friends, Patrick and Sam. The advantages of being a wallflower can be easily analyzed by viewing the relationships they build with family, friends, and drugs. Living on the sidelines as a wallflower is not simply equivalent to invisibility, it creates space for relationships; his characteristic is a disadvantage, because it can be used against him, it is also an advantage, because due to his awkward character, the relationships he develops tend to be unique.
