It's all about self control, learning how to use it. Occupy yourself. It is hard as we do tempt ourselves to text those who we miss or want to speak to, but we have to remember that it's the best of us not to do so. Do something. Turn your phone off. It is hard, and yes we will think about it. But doing something will stop us from doing it. Also, texting someone else and trying to make conversation, whether it's a friend or a family member may help :)

You have to just think that sometimes it hurts more to hold on rather than to let go of what is making you upset

Text somebody else instead. Do things to keep your mind occupied, like drawing or singing or listening to upbeat music.

Try to distract yourself with other activities. Maybe express your feelings through a creative outlet or talk to other friends.

You can try doing the things that make you happy. My best friend and I, his mother doesn't like me, so when we talk, I will try to keep the conversation going. So don't worry. Give him a little space, then pull on the reins a little. That's all.

Engage in a different activity that has historically brought you positive emotion. This will distract you from texting him and also elicit positive feelings.
