Ha, omg I've so been there. I was doing automated testing for a company for a good five months and they seriously did not care at all.
Like they have nothing for you to do and you feel guilty for not doing anything because you're getting paid. Then you gravitate towards laziness and when you finally do get some non-task you know it's of zero value to anyone and your time would probably be better spent recycling old files on your desktop. So then you feel scared talking to anyone because you feel like you don't belong and are getting paid for not doing any work.
Either go full on Costanza, quit, or get used to feeling weak. ...I spent much of my time filling out job applications.
