In Hyouka, it's cultural festival time, and it's Eru I feel kinda bad for in this arc because she stresses herself out trying to get out of her comfort zone and do things that aren't natural for her for the sake of helping the club. Her heart is in the right place, of course, but even she recognizes that negotiating and managing people aren't her strengths (which comes back around in the last episode). I can respect that because I struggle to do things I'm not good at, and I don't mean in the sense that I don't do them very well. I struggle to get started on them at all, and I usually end up putting them off until the last possible minute as a result. You can't fault her for a lack of enthusiasm and a willingness to put the interests of others ahead of her own.

Eru even tries to become something she's not by taking a page out of Irisu's book in hopes of success, which naturally falls flat because she doesn't have the personality type for it. She also wears herself out by her tendency to get sucked in by anything that catches her interest. She can't do anything halfway. She sort of reminds me of Yukiko in P4 that way. Yukiko gets fully invested in anything she does, even silly things. I think that's why she's a natural fit for Narukami because his anime personality is largely that way as well. Of course, Hotaro is the polar opposite of Eru in this regard, and I think that's a natural fit, too, so it takes all kinds, I guess!
