<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

My boyfriend is very into fitness, and for the last few months been saying that I should go to the gym, or we should workout together. I know that he is just trying to be encouraging, and wants us to both be fit and healthy. However, he is not the most complimentary person in the world. He generally doesn't make many comments about how I look. I understand that this is probably just his personality, and that I probably shouldn't take it so personally.

I am not someone who needs constant validation when it comes to my appearance. However, the combination of "encouragement" and absence of positive remarks about my body are kind of giving me a complex. It makes me feel like he doesn't find me attractive, and it's taking a bit of a toll on my self esteem. I have a hard time trying to talk to him about this because I don't want to come off as needy, shallow, overly sensitive, etc.

For reference: I am the same weight I was when we met/started dating (which is about average. Not super skinny but not overweight) and I tell him all the time how much I love his body and how handsome he is.

So I guess my question is am I projecting my insecurities on him? Is him trying to get me to workout his way of telling me that he doesn't like my body the way it is?
<bot>: Bf doesn't tell me I'm pretty, and tries to get me to go to the gym. Making me feel inadequate.
