It does not matter if you look at twitter on the official app, a frontend, your neighbour’s door’s peephole, it’s still twitter, it’s still a cesspit, curate your feed better or leave it altogether.

Socialism is an adventist secular religion. It provides no tools to alleviate suffering because it is based on the whole concept that problems will be solved “when the revolution comes” and “when we abolish private property” and so on (see this comment for a perfect example).
If you want to feel better, do what you can to improve your situation now. This means: find a better job, change your habits for better more fulfilling ones, stop doomscrolling social media designed to rot your brain keep you engaged, find a better friend circle if the people around you reinforce these feelings of doom.
The feelings of “can’t find love” have a lot to do with the people you hang out with, or lack thereof if your social media diet takes up enough of your mental energy to impact your feelings.
Go touch grass, find a hobby to do with others, preferably groups of mixed age, background (sex, race,etc), and beliefs.

I’m basically single, and I prefer being optimistic about finding love - the glass is always half-full, after all. And yes, I do touch grass (I take walks sometimes).

I assume “how” is referencing the “change your habits” part, because getting off social media is simply a matter of choosing to do so, so I’ll answer accordingly.
Changing habits is not easy, in my experience finding hobbies you like is a great way to get out of your routine which then helps you notice what habits make you less happy since you’re no longer just going with the flow, but YMMV on that.
In general, it takes time and effort to vet your habits.
I’m not a professional, so I don’t have concrete methods other than my own, which is to “test” them: stop doing the thing for a week, assess how you feel afterwards, then go back to it and see if you feel better or worse.
