Question: It seems to me that there are states that are close to the truth, when dissatisfaction and anger arise because my friends do not care about my participation, my needs, or my efforts, to the point of despair, and I feel the group does not need me, that I only bring harm, and it would be better for me to leave and not get in the way. What counterarguments can I prepare in such states?

Answer: No counterarguments are necessary. You should say that you understand that you are the lowest and most worthless, but you still want the Creator to help you, and you want to rise toward connection with Him.

And the fact that you are low and worthless, unable to do or achieve anything, is something you know yourself. That is exactly what is meant by “Raise me from the dust.” It is the person who feels this way about their state that the Creator raises.

Question: While being in the lowest state, can I ask for love from my group? At the same time, I also want to love them even more than they love me.

Answer: That is how you are praying for them. This is a very good prayer when you ask for others and yourself as well.
