    Depends.

    Do you have friends? Do they use a social media platform to stay in touch?

    If yes and yes, then it would be very hard to let it go, because your friend group would go with it.

    If yes and no, it should be easy. But maybe it’s your entertainment so it won’t be easy to quit.

    If no and no, you might have a very hard time leaving social media because it’s sold as an opportunity to build up a friend group, and social media can pretend to be a friend group that isn’t really there if you let it.

        It’s not healthy to be alone forever. Humans need community of some kind (hopefully in person.)

        That said, quitting social media is totally possible. Humans have lived without it for the vast majority of our societal existence.

        Then I’m confused by your original post. Why would it not be possible for you to quit social media entirely?
