He says he needs so much time by himself because he gets really tired and anxious if he doesn't get time alone. I mean, that's fair.

Well what if a professor said that (s)he really needed time alone so (s)he is only lecturing for 30 minutes instead of an hour and only grading half of your submitted assignments? But (s)he still really want you to be in the class.
What if a supervisor said that (s)he really needed time alone and so the shop is closing early and your hours are cut in half? But (s)he still really wants you to work there.
Your boyfriend might "need" time alone, but nevertheless the result seems to be that you are getting maybe half of a relationship from him. But he really wants you to stay in the relationship.

He says he values his privacy a lot, and that's why he hides things from me.

He shuts you out behind closed doors and behind his strong desire for privacy.

He said he doesn't understand why I don't trust him. I told him why, but he explained everything.

Saying that he values privacy isn't an "explanation". It just says that he values keeping you out, but it doesn't explain why, and certainly it doesn't reveal what he wants to keep you away from.
