I'm living an ok life. I have a job and hobbies and such but I'm pretty miserable because I have no friends, no gf, and barely talk to my family.
Basically, I'm very lonely. My therapist keeps saying I need to be happy with myself before I make friends. But this makes no sense to me, It's like taking a starving person and saying they need to stop starving before you can feed them.

try volunteering at some places - easy to interact with people in a structured environment
meetup.com ? find some group
just go do something & keep trying

I know this feel. As the months wear on it seems that no one can bother to make time for me, as the people I know are busy having a life.

thats a faulty metaphor, it doesn't really correlate. you can love yourself without friends. if you're miserable you cant really love waht you're doing.

Not OP, but Meetup.com is only good if you live ina metropolis area. It's not so great for small/rural cities like mine, we have some groups in my city but nothing I'm interested in.
No anime groups, or TCG groups. It's basically just hiking, bike riding, coding, photography groups.

see ? go do those things you idjit
otherwise re-read your op and stop the whining
seriously how difficult is it to walk around a bit ? take some pics ?
start your own meetup group
you ask for advice & then shoot it down, no wonder ur in therapy
right ?

and remember - activity precedes interest
you need to get out and do things besides sitting in your room reading comic books and playing computer games
1 day a month hiking - go for it pal
