I've gone through something similar because I don't text.

Everyone I know does texting. I have on problem with doing this occasionally if I need to, but apparently, most people I know are texting each other constantly, all day long for any reason, or no reason at all. I mean, just sending out texts to their friends saying "what R U doing?" and texting smiley faces and other things. I have no time for keeping in touch with anyone constantly to tell them what I am doing on a 24/7 basis, and also am not interested in "smiley faces". Its just not my thing. I suppose if I were a teenager, I'd be doing this all day long, but I'm an adult and just do not have time for it.

Yes, it means I am out of the loop with some things socially. I also have had people get mad at me because I won't text them all day long telling them what I am doing, where I am going, who I am with, and other personal aspects of my daily life. In fact, I won't even give out my cell phone number to most people for that reason - I know they'll start sending me stupid text messages, and frankly, I don't want to contribute to them wasting their life away like this. I also believe many of them are texting while driving and that is dangerous - again, not something I want to contribute to or participate in, if it were to cause a serious car accident.
