Day 4 into no contact and my ex texted me and sent memes. Do I respond?

I wouldn’t respond. He probably feels like just because he called things off doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to talk, and who knows he may be feeling like that decision wasn’t the best and is changing his mind. But honestly, I don’t like wishy-washy people or individuals like him that project their insecurities onto others. No contact means no contact, so he needs to respect your wishes regardless and you should stick to them as well.
It sounds like you are playing the "break up" game and not serious about going your separate ways.

why did he feel like that?
Because I just got out of a long term relationship, he doesn't want to replace my ex and he thinks I need to focus on myself and build my confidence. It's too hard for me to keep talking to him so I need space to be able to clear my head and focus on myself because my feelings for him are very strong
he's being a pain in the ass.
no contact means no contact...
