I agree with Staceily. Reconnect with your friends and disconnect from you boyfriend.
You're young but time does fly whether you're having fun or not, so don't squander yours by trying to explain anything or reason with him. He will never agree or understand your view because it isn't in his interest to do so. As long as he plays dumb he thinks he can maintain the status quo.
If he thinks you won't leave him no matter what he will have zero incentive to improve his behaviour.

Yes you should reconnect with your friends. Not only that, you should dump your controlling boyfriend. He has different 'rules' for you than he does for himself and tries to control who you can and cannot see. Also he feels the need to hurt your feelings by saying he is tired of you and needs other female companionship. In particular one female he seeks out. Quite a few red flags.
