How do I(23F) get out of my codependent relationship with my boyfriend(22M)

I am 23F in a relationship with my 22M boyfriend. We have been together for 2 years. Our relationship had it's ups and downs and tbh I'm down with it atp. I am no longer attracted to him. We don't trust each other anymore because of stuff that we have both done in the past. We really care about each other but we fight a lot. And i mean a lot. One tiny fight gets dragged on and on until we both end up resenting each other. Main issue is that we are both pretty dependent on each other. We text each other every single minute of the day. And we have been in a relationship for approx. 2 years now. Earlier we used to spend most of our time together. At this point, a breakup really scares me because I don't know how to be single and i don't know how not be with him. I don't have many friends and I'm kinda introverted. The friends that I do have are in relationships of their own and they are kinda consumed by that. And me and my boyfriend belong to the same friend group, where most people are more attched to him than me. So a breakup would mean being lonely for a period of time . And that really scares me. Idk guys. I know i should breakup. I know its inevitable. But I'm just really scared. How do I get out of this relationship and function as a normal human being?

TLDR: Been with my bf for 2 years. No attraction, no trust, constant fighting. We're codependent af. Know I need to break up but terrified of being alone since we share a friend group and I have no one else. Brain knows, heart won't cooperate
