When I deleted my Instagram, I was initially hesitant because “my friends were all on it.” But when none of them ever spoke to me again outside of Instagram, I understood that they were not friends.
Not being on social media has helped me connect with friends more if anything, when i meet them irl they can tell me about their vacation, their new dog etc. because i didnt see it. Interacting with friends got human again and not a “yep seen that on fb” conversationkiller.
I also do not ever miss any of the people who i thought were important to keep touch with. Because i got their phone number and they got mine we COULD contact each other. But guess what we dont.

Yeah, I don’t want to see how my loved ones’ lives are going, I want them to tell me
