I'm stuck between a man who wants me to be his alone, and wanting my independence to do as I please. He's concerned that I'm straying from him, but in actuality does not know that is simply how I am. I fear for his emotions, but speaking openly about my feelings does not exactly ring my bell.

What kind of "straying" are we talking about here? Hanging out with other people, or advancing for your future? Either way, I guess you could try both sitting down and finding a way to comprimise. Just don't give up or take more than what's fair. You should at least talk about it with him regardless because bottling it up could hurt the relationship.
I hope that helps a little. Best wishes to both of you.

Points to consider.
1. How deeply are your feelings? 2. Is his concern bordering on controlling? 3. By independence, do you mean you enjoy dating other people while seeing him? (what is you definition of independence in this matter, I.E. are you currently in an open relationship?) 4. Can the two of you make compromises?

Well, he is oddly protective of me, and becomes insanely jealous quite easily. I've told him on several occasions that I am not interested in a relationship, having recently gotten out of a serious couple-hood. It seems the more he tries to be near me, the more I want to push him away, does that make me a terrible person?

If you're not interested, then you're not interested. Period.

TheWitchGotRobin If you're not interested, then you're not interested. Period. I actually had a row with him last night about why I wanted him to leave me alone. He couldn't grasp the fact that I'm a free spirit who needs ample space to breathe.

Cool down on any sexual/relationship activities because it seems he can't handle anything less. Work on making it more of a "just friends" relationship instead of friends and a side of something extra.

I agree with the advice already given, but I'd like to add something. Keep in mind that you have the right to see your friends, even if he tells you not to. I hate to see girls in relationships where they allow their partners to bully them.
