I simply have scarcely limited potential value to other people.

I think that your ability to help others is far greater than you realize. Some ideas would be to tutor young people, perhaps at a youth shelter, or to help out at places like a soup kitchen. You can likely find opportunities locally through, for example, contacting local government.

Besides, how am I supposed to help others when I struggle to help myself?

Helping others is actually one of the best ways to help yourself. Specifically, helping others in person is one of the best ways to develop the empathy and emotional intelligence that you want.
I myself have found that taking my gaze off of myself for a time, and opening myself to others, has been very helpful.
