Actually there’s another point about texting, that most people are actually addicted to it. I’m no exaggerating. You see your brain is very smart, it learns slowly slowly that when it hears a ‘ping’, someone is messaging them, and that makes them feel good. It makes them feel wanted, needed, popular, etc. You ussually check your phone if not immediately, within the next few minutes, and when you do you get a rush of “feel good” hormones. Your brain understands that to checking the phone feels good, and it brings a rush of that to you.
That’s why it’s so hard to not check your phone, your brain may be hardwired to do so. Don’t worry though, Hashem made our brain very flexible and you can rewire it by training it to wait to see texts, etc. And don’t give me “But it might be important”. Do yourself a favor and give your spouse and other important people a seperate ring tone and ping noises, if you aren’t expecting anything important-it’s probably not.
