maybe a crush, maybe an ex, maybe someone you're beefing with; either way, turning off their text alerts rocks. with some getting used to, you won't keep constantly checking for a message from them to come through but you'll still get notifications from the people who don't make you nervous. makes it way easier to stop thinking about when their next text might come through and if it does, you'll more than likely stumble across it organically. if you're doing something important, you'll be guaranteed not to have it interrupted by a wave of digital anxiety.
