<human>: Hi everyone! Relationship noobie here.

We've been together for about a year and a half now, and the majority of it has been a happy ride. However, for the past couple of months we've been in a slump due to the fact that he is away at university while I am stuck here in my home town. 

Without going into too much detail, I feel like a nuisance for always craving his attention. I've voiced my concerns to him multiple times and I believe that they were healthy conversations but I'm always left feeling unsatisfied. I'm not sure what I expect, and we've even discussed the 5 love languages too. I feel like I put in a lot more effort than he does, and he agrees with me. I like to write him little sticky notes, giving him genuine compliments, massages, baking snacks and making crafts for him. I know he's been trying to give me more words of encouragement, but I don't have much else to work with and I can't help but feel like an asshole for not fully appreciating his effort and thinking that I deserve a lot better.

I hope someone can talk some sense into me because I'm feeling like a hopeless and needy teenager which I absolutely hate. I want to understand his perspective despite him not being able to vocally express it to me.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I'd like to be a more understanding girlfriend and I need to stop nagging at my boyfriend to show some love. How can I see things from his perspective?.
