<human>: I started therapy because I've been mentally ill my whole life (depression and anxiety) and I finally convinced my parents to let me go to therapy.

I mostly talk to her about issues with my boyfriend and friends, because my boyfriend says I'm sensitive/emotional/a handful and so I need help. I know this and I've been working on improving my self esteem so I'm not a burden on anyone.

My best friend/roommate of a year was talking behind my back and saying that I was self centered, argumentative, selfish, never did what she wants to do, and that she doesn't think I'm her best friend anymore. She said the friendship is one sided.
This obviously hurt me and I can't focus on my finals because it feels like my heart being ripped out of my chest. We both admitted to each other that we were the best friend the other has had, but I guess that's gone now because of the way I am. I'm clingy, annoying, and talk too much about myself. Although I do try to show empathy I'm not great at asking how people are unless they decide to talk about it. I care about peoples' lives but I have a hard time showing it.

I am in therapy for this but I don't know what else to do. It feels like it's not working. I've been like this my whole life and have been losing friendships because I complain too much since I was in elementary school. My therapist knows this and she said to just keep going with what I'm doing, but now that my friend is saying this about me and my boyfriend is emotionally exhausted because of me, it seems more urgent, and I don't know to make it better.
Has anyone else been in this position? I'm so distressed because I hate who I am and I want to be better. I don't want to lose wonderful people from my life.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: The two most important people in my life find me self-centered and are exhausted by me. I'm in therapy but I don't think it's helping. What else can I do?
