>I've rejected his invitations four times because I don't want to be awkward, saying I was busy/delaying it
I don't want to be silent, have nothing to talk about and ruin everything even more, but right now we are in our home town and he could just walk here to visit me
What the hell do I do. I need topics, stuff to talk about typical things to say when you haven't met a person in years
Why''d you cut off all contact? You didn't fall for /fit/ cocoonmode meme, did you?

I can't really make or keep relationships, usual social ineptitude
I really need something to use when the conversation starts to get slower. He's a good friend and I don't want to be remembered by him as awkward and boring
These are the symptoms of avoidant personality disorder. I have it too and isolate myself from all friends because Im such a worthless loser. What would I talk about with guys who have wifes, girlfriends, well paid jobs? Nothing, there is nothing

There must be something even if it's just asking about them. I want to fight this but I don't know how
I'm an older guy and I have done the same thing over the years
My advice to you is to explain to him that you find socializing very difficult, even with people you genuinely like (like him!)
Tell him you appreciate his offer but you are finding it much too difficult of late.
He will either understand or not.
