Acessing currently logged in user in class based view

i'm trying to sort some model-data inside a class based view by the currently logged in user. How do i do that? I tried the following, but it didnt work:

class ChatOverView(ListView):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return [Message.objects.filter(sender=self.request.user),
                Message.objects.filter(receiver=self.request.user)]

    model = {"received": get_queryset()[0], "sent": get_queryset()[1]}
    template_name = "chat/home-chat.html"

Im getting the following error message: TypeError: get_queryset() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

Thanks for Your Help!

Edit I am aiming to implement a chat-system on my website. In order to do that, i set up a database which stores all sent messages. Each entry contains a "sender" and a "receiver" field. With Help of this View i want to display all messages the currently logged in user received or sent.

You can simply override the get_context_data. You can let the Django ListView handle one of the lists, and handle the other one yourself:

class ChatOverView(ListView):
    model = Message
    context_object_name = 'sent'
    template_name = 'chat/home-chat.html'

    def get_queryset(self):
        return super().get_queryset().filter(
            sender=self.request.user
        )

    def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
        context = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
        context.update(
            received=Message.objects.filter(receiver=self.request.user)
        )
        return context
