Cuban in the U.S. sends a strong message to those who complain after emigrating: "I feel secondhand embarrassment."

The young Cuban Senia González Vidal, known on TikTok as @seniamarc, has struck a chord with her followers by sharing a video in which she expressed her discontent towards some Cubans who, after emigrating to the United States, complain about the difficulties they face. In her message, Senia was outspoken and urged to move away from the "image of misery" that, according to her, some project on social media.

“Enough already, my God, I don’t know if I’ve become insensitive, but this doesn’t make me feel sorry, it disgusts me,” Senia declared in her video, visibly frustrated. For her, men who cry on social media about how "they were better in Cuba" are sending the wrong image of what it means to emigrate. She compared this attitude to the sacrifice of her mother, who, at 65, continues to work in the United States, having achieved more in a single year than in 30 years as a professional in Cuba.

His message did not go unnoticed and quickly generated mixed reactions. Many followers praised his bravery for addressing a delicate topic that affects the emigrant community. "You are absolutely right, we should be thankful to this great country," commented one user, while another added: "That's how you speak, I liked your video."

However, not everyone agreed with his stance. A follower responded, “I respect your opinion, but I don’t share it... I love and am proud of my roots, I know that Cuba will rise.” Others opined that each migration experience is unique, and not everyone has the same capacity for adaptation or success, which opens up a debate about the expectations of life abroad.

Among the comments, some followers joked about the situation, suggesting a "foundation to pay for tickets" back for those who cannot adapt. Meanwhile, others reaffirmed that success in the United States can only be achieved with effort and sacrifice.

Senia's video not only invites reflection on effort and gratitude but also brings to the forefront the debate on how emigration is portrayed on social media. For many, this type of discussion highlights the complexity and emotional weight that the adaptation process in a new country can entail.
