Your boyfriend is absolutely right on this. You cannot depend on him for validation and happiness. You must work on finding it within yourself before you can expect to have a fulfilling relationship with anyone else. To do so start working on developing a a healthy self-concept If you are confident and comfortable with who you are you won't need someone to be the only thing that makes you happy. You have to take responsibility for making yourself happy. This in turn will enhance any relationship that you have.
