Recently the other players in my group got tired of their characters; now they've turned up with new ones and I'm worried that my Warlock has nothing to add to the group anymore.
My Character
Level 5 human Pact of the Tome warlock, Fiend patron.
Stats: STR 14, DEX 12, CON 13, INT 14, WIS 14, CHA 19
Invocations: Agonizing Blast, Repelling Blast and Devil's Sight.
Feats: Spell Sniper
Spells: hex, darkness, hunger of Hadar, invisibility, and comprehend languages
My group: a barbarian, two bards, a wizard and a rogue/druid multi-class (sorry I don't know specifics on their classes); a Sorcerer or Cleric might be joining soon.
I am thinking that now that we have a wizard (with EB), it's stupid to have the ritual invocation (Book of Ancient Secrets). One bard is the face whilst the other has utility spells like charm person and darkness; I'm not a Hexblade so I can't go melee.
I feel like I'm just an extra mouth to feed; is there anything more I can do to contribute to the party that someone else isn't doing better?
The DM rolls to see if we have night-time encounters or not.

TL;DR - Sure, each of your abilities is shared with at least one party member. But that's ok! Overlap is never such a bad thing if used properly. In fact, in many cases, this overlap can lead to a "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" type of thing.
Here are a few things I can think of that could potentially boost your perception of usefulness in your party :
