You are NOT worthless! You have this rough path right now, not really any way out of it except to walk it. Could you try to offer discussion with the "friend" in a non-confrontational way?

No blame, no landmines, just "I've noticed my offerings have been turned down in past weeks. I feel dismissed, and this hurts because I value our friendship."

I don't think you're just being insecure, I think there are these things going on that some communication could possibly help you understand what their thinking is all about(?)
Thanks for this!
