I personally would tell the person reasons why the relationship isn't working for you and listen to their side. After clearing the air of how both of you feel let them know you do not wish to continue in the relationship. Wish them the best in their journey.

There's no easy way. Memories and emotions that you hold/held for each other won't simply go away, but if you think that you have no more emotions and nothing more to offer to this person, you should just make it clear, as fast as possible, and with no hard words.

Have a long talk with them about what you both feel. Tell the other person why you would want to break up with them even if it's painfull for both of you. It might be easier to get over eachother when you both know the reason for the breakup

Face to face is not the easiest, but it is what someone deserves. A text or social media message is just wrong as you had a relationship with this person. Just explain to them face to face that it isn't working out and that you are sorry but it has to end.

Telling them the truth. It can be hard sometimes, and it could be painful. But whoever you're breaking up with deserve the truth and you will find a lot easier to be sincere rather than having to make up a lie

I think it is best to be honest. You need to talk to them in person is another huge thing. Sit down with them and let them know why you no longer think this relationship is good for you. Be honest but not rude. Keep things calm and don't try to fight them. If they react negatively do not forget you can walk away from the situation. If it escalates and you are unable to control it, leave and know you tried your best to make your side known.

I would just say to them, and person, that you care about them, but that you just don't think the relationship is working. They may get upset - I wouldn't blame them - but I would not dump them by text, or phone. It is not appropriate to harm somebody else to prevent yourself from a little bit of discomfort. So always be honest, and do things in the most tactful way possible.

Breaking up is never easy I think because one way or another, you'll be hurt and you'll hurt someone. You'll remember the wasted time as well as the beautiful memories you have. However, breaking up with someone in person and with understanding in your heart is the best way to help closure and moving on to start.

It is important to tell the person your feelings and why you are feeling this way. It is helpful to ease the person into understanding why you are breaking up with them.

There is never really an easy way to break up with someone, the only time it's easy is if the other person has been feeling the same way too and wants the same thing. In the situation where the feeling is not mutual the easiest way to break up with a person is to just say that things are working out, and you don't feel the same way anymore. Tell them that there a great person and deserve someone who wants to be with them too, that's why your being honest about how you feel and you don't want to be with them anymore. Hopefully they understand that things are working for you and they will respect your wishes and not get overly upset.
