Content creator @itscarolindaa is making waves on TikTok with her video about the challenges of living in the United States. In her post, which has already garnered over 15,000 likes, Carolindaa shares "things I wish someone had told me before moving to the United States," offering warnings for those considering relocating to the country.
According to his experience, living in the United States can be tougher than many might imagine. He explains that in the country, "you don't have friends or a social life" and that "no one cares about you here." He also mentions that loneliness and distrust are common, and warns about the risks of turning to vices due to the sadness or anxiety that may arise. In his advice to others, he recommends focusing on activities that promote well-being and on saving, as the cost of living is high and "every dollar counts."
User reactions were swift, with many sharing their own experiences. Some agreed that loneliness and a lack of empathy are global issues: “It’s not just the United States; it’s a worldwide problem, nobody interacts anymore”; “Here and everywhere”; “We’re just the same in the Dominican Republic.” Others defended life in the U.S., emphasizing that with a good job, one can live in peace and even help family back home: “I love it here; I have peace and money. There’s no gossip or drama”; “I live very well; I’ve managed to get my house in the Dominican Republic and here too.”
Several users pointed out that the situation is similar in their own countries, stating that life is increasingly lonely everywhere these days. “This happens all over the world, the world has changed, my friend”; “Crisis and loneliness are everywhere, not just in the United States.” Despite the differences in opinion, @itscarolindaa's message has sparked a debate about what it really means to emigrate, with some saying that only by experiencing it can one truly understand.
