I can relate to this. It was more of a problem for me last year than this year, but I still have that natural feeling of worrying about whether someone is going to text back. It got to a point where I shut people out or just stopped texting certain people and wait for them to text me. It helps me to take a break in general from texting certain individuals who make me feel ignored. There are certain people still out there (who tend to be older, but not always) who just aren't phone people. I try not to take it personally and just accept that is how they are and not immediately jump to the thought that there is something wrong with me or allow my mind to quickly go to a sense of rejection.
I know it's easier said than done. I agree with what others have said though about deleting certain people. There's also nothing wrong with taking a break from texting, and if someone wants to talk badly enough, they'll get in touch with you. Keeping your mind occupied with other things after texting someone can help with avoiding anger from building and just know there's nothing wrong with you. I often wish people would send a simple text right back, but there's no controlling others. All we can do is try to control our response to it.
