[ no, Kaneki doesn't think he is that person at all. That was someone else who lived a very different life from him, who did things differently from him (LITTLE HE KNOWS.......). Kaneki is not him and will not become him.
He doesn't mind being friends with other people, other people that knew that person. But it also hurts him to think that they are expecting him to turn into that other guy. That they look at him with some hope to see that guy. And Kaneki can't give them that.
In fact, he is taking that person's place now. He feels guilty for that, in fact
He isn't going to say any of that out loud though ]
I think everyone probably has a different way of seeing things. This isn't a normal situation and it's hard to know what to do.

In the end, this place is a bit cruel like that.
