It's all in that first phrase, "i know my ex probably doesn’t care". Let him go. Put your attention towards those who will return it. I completely sympathize. hugs
LGBTQ+
A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

I guess things are good, until they aren't.
true :)
I wish I had something uplifting to tell you. All I've got is empathy for the wish that you might matter to someone as much as they had or still matter to you. It's a uniquely crushing feeling to know that you don't, and a difficult one to grieve.
I suppose the best advice I have is to remember to value the people who text or otherwise initiate contact / try to start conversations with you first without self serving reasons like financial or one-sided emotional ones. They're usually the people who are best for you.
And maybe try to locate where in the kubler ross model you are with that realization of not having value to him. The stages don't always progress in exactly the same order as the model would suggest, that's just the most common variant. You could look up ways to process each stage, but even just mapping out where you're at might be helpful.
