In short, the level of difficulty veganism will pose for you is dependent on the following:

• Whether or not you have a good reason for switching
• If you have any supporting family or friends
• If you are able or willing to learn how to cook vegan-friendly food
• Whether or not you are able to adapt to never eating animal ingredients again (Learning how to find good vegan alternatives)

If you can confidently say none of these issues would affect you then switching to the vegan diet should be a breeze for you.
