AIO for feeling hurt that my independent boyfriend doesn’t make time for me the way I need?

My boyfriend is very independent and values his personal space, which I respect. However, I’m someone who craves regular communication and quality time in a relationship. I’ve tried explaining how I feel, but he says I’m being too clingy and that I should trust the relationship without constant reassurance. I feel like my needs aren’t being met, but I also don’t want to be overbearing. AIO for wanting more attention, or should I adjust to his independence?
