Short answer: stop after one post. The next posts are not going to become kinder evidence.
Leave before it turns
"You can stop scrolling before it turns on you." Mute one account for the rest of the week. "A highlight reel is not the life you are living." Close the app that started this. "Their caption does not know your actual day." Stop after one post. The rest can wait.
"You can compare, then put the comparison down." Stand up and look at something real. "I can look at their life and come back to mine." Walk to another room and leave the phone behind.
Put one chosen line where the feed was
A Lock Screen widget can hold the quote you last opened, under the clock, until you open a different card. It is one line. It is not a lock on the other apps. If you want the line to arrive and then leave, use a reminder instead.

Common questions
Why does scrolling make loneliness worse?
A highlight reel is not the life you are living, and their caption does not know your actual day. The feed keeps offering more of that mismatch.
What is a small stop?
Stop after one post, close the app that started it, or mute one account for the rest of the week.
Can a Lock Screen quote replace the feed?
It can sit under the clock as one line you chose. It does not block other apps or watch how you scroll.
