American woman shares her honest review of Indian vs US healthcare: ‘I prefer India because…’<\/a>)<\/p>\nIn the clip, she says: \u201cThe reason why I\u2019ve moved abroad from Los Angeles to Barcelona, Spain, and why thousands of other Americans are doing it, social life. Yes, I just said social life. The social life disappoints in the US. And I think most Americans will get where I\u2019m coming from because the US is a separated society. This society in the US is meant to separate you so that you are individual.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the point of a big house if it\u2019s empty?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lum elaborates that the American lifestyle leaves people isolated. \u201cLook, we have our houses so spread out, yet we don\u2019t, we\u2019re by ourselves all the time. What\u2019s the point of having a big house if it\u2019s gonna be empty all the time? This is what I don\u2019t get about the US society. This is not okay. That\u2019s why people are drowning in depression because in the US hanging out at the last minute and spontaneous get-togethers are not a norm. You have to book your friends out two or three weeks in advance to even do something.\u201d<\/p>\n
By contrast, she said life in Europe felt far more connected. \u201cIn Europe, on the contrary, it is not like that. People are literally out on the street walking around every single day. You can meet up with whoever you want. You can always text your friends and be like, hey, let\u2019s go grab a tea. Let\u2019s drop in. Let\u2019s connect. And you don\u2019t ever feel lonely.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExtreme loneliness is killing us in the US\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman stressed that America\u2019s lack of spontaneous community was causing harm. \u201cSo this extreme loneliness is honestly killing us in the US. And if you\u2019ve not experienced this, like, good on you, but I\u2019m sure most of us know what I\u2019m talking about. And as somebody that\u2019s lived in four different countries, Spain, France, India, I can tell you that this is the US\u2019s worst problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that healthcare, debt and diet only made things worse. \u201cWe haven\u2019t even talked about healthcare, drowning in debt, crippling anxiety because of that debt, and people having to go on all sorts of medications because the food system is horrible in the US. I\u2019m saying that as a human being, not a human doing, we need other people. We need community. And the US is, I\u2019m sorry, not built for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Social media divided over her views<\/p>\n
The video, captioned \u201cWhere are we moving abroad y\u2019all?\u201d, has already gained over six lakh views and ignited a lively debate. One user commented, \u201cShe is absolutely right, the loneliness in America is real and no one talks about it.\u201d Another wrote, \u201cThis is exaggerated, plenty of Americans have strong social networks, it\u2019s not all bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some echoed Lum\u2019s experiences, with one saying, \u201cI live in Germany now and I finally feel human again.\u201d Another observed, \u201cIn the US, everything is scheduled, nothing is spontaneous.
