As someone who's gotten caught up in the "Let me help you fix yourself" routine distance is probably the only answer. Certainley he does not seem to bring anything to the friendship and relationships are supposed to go two ways. My only suggestion to you if you did stay friends with him would be to encourage him to get involved in things that would help him meet people. Clubs, community ed classes, anxiety support groups whatever. Maybe if had other interactions with people he wouldn't be so dependent on you. (see how I'm still trying to help him? I'm helper, it gets me in trouble.) Whatever you do don't feel that you are responsible for his feelings.
