I'm planning on breaking up with my boyfriend today and I'm kinda freaking out..?

So I've been dating a close friend of mine for almost four months now and I feel that it's time to end it. It was great at first, he was really trying to change for the better and to treat me the way I deserve to be treated, but that's come to an end. Long story short, here are my biggest reasons: he rarely talks to me anymore since I came back from vacation two weeks ago (although he barely seemed interested in talking to me while I was gone), he rarely seems interested in what's going on with me, he doesn't seem to value or admire me as a person (ex. He makes fun of me when I tell stories to anyone and he's there), he checked up on me once when I was sick for three weeks with strep throat and scarlet fever and even then it seemed like an obligation, he gives me a hurt look when and if he makes eye contact with me and as far as I know I haven't done anything to hurt him, he's been avoiding me for the past two weeks, he doesn't really make an effort with my family, and I could go on and on but most of all, I don't see myself with him anymore. I really do care about him and I want to stay friends but he is the type of person who will be a victim and make me feel very bad. I know that he won't take it well, and he's a very emotional person so I'm scared to do it but I know it needs to be done. How should I go about this without hurting him too bad??
