how do i [22f] stop texting people in my life so much?

as the title says, i would like to stop having the compulsion to text the people in my life all the time (particularly my boyfriend who gets my texts the most).

i have tried distracting myself with a lot of different activities, but i have too much ease in finding the time or opportunity to text throughout my day so creating distractions, school, work, none of that works. im not addicted to being on my phone or laptop, i just really like texting people random check-ins or random thoughts or sending them posts i think theyd like. i also tend to have a LOT to say so at times my messages can get really wordy.

my boyfriend says im not annoying and he likes it, but i feel like its been getting annoying recently. he used to text me when he woke up but now sometimes he will wait a while after to respond to everything i sent him while he slept, or if he checks his phone before bed he wont text me anything because he would then feel like he has to respond to everything. i already told him he doesnt have to, and can even say that he will reply later or something because he needs to sleep, he says he doesnt feel comfortable doing that.

in the past with groupchats with my friends, some of them would mute it because i would text or keep a super long convo going with someone else, which got super annoying. i feel like im doing the same thing now with my boyfriend because hes like my best friend and i want to talk to him all the time or hear what he has to say about a bunch of different things, but i just feel SO annoying now and i want to stop being so talkative. i stop for a few days but then i start messaging a bit more and more and then im back to the same frequency. as i said, i have a busy life outside of being on my phone or laptop texting people all the time, i just find it too easy to do it throughout the day without it impacting the rest of my life. i dont want to keep annoying people all the time. thank you for any help
