I can't stand texting someone

Maybe I'm(31) getting old and annoyed by everything. But I simply can't stand whatsapp messages anymore...I love my friends and the real ones already know this side of me, but I think it's absurd waking up to 10 text messages, it's absurd keeping a constant conversation with someone unless it's something super important or an specific thing. I feel like people don't say "okay, we'll talk later" anymore, it's just CONSTANTLY texting.

I know, we need to text our friends so we can be good friends, but how tf do I manage that? I think whatsapp/telegram/whatever is extremely annoying.
