If you really don't want to be here, you might as well go.
- I don't really get this sentence structure, either. Does this literally translate as "If you are going to remain upset, it is better that you leave." ??

...más lejos de las demás.

...llegan siempre tarde.
...están siempre retrasados/atrasados.

Muy buena frase.
