The American dream is something that many have heard about and it's the idea that no matter your background or where you come from that you can come into America and make a life for yourself however you want to. The American dream to Americans is sometimes not as glorious as people make it seem.

America has a reputation in culture and politics and other areas compared to other countries, but some might not know the things that America does that are just not right or really dark. America is not as flawless as some people make it out to be.

As you are scrolling through social media you may see people talk about healthcare, politics, flawed systems, and country debt. It's like many of us to complain to voice our opinions about things that our home country does.

This is exactly what these people did when it comes to sharing their opinions on social media about America and telling the world about the crazy things that Americans experience or do. It's no surprise that some of these things are just something that everyday Americans deal with, but other people from other countries are dumbfounded by some of these people's stories.

Let's hop into this and see exactly what honest stories people had to say about the dark side of living in America.

These 40 stories about America might seem like everyday news for Americans but for those in other countries, it could be a total surprise. The negative talk about America by Americans should set the record straight about the "American Dream" but unfortunately, it hasn't.

This isn't to say that America isn't thriving compared to other less fortunate countries, but America isn't all it's made out to be and the people living there aren't always excited to be living there, and clearly for a good reason.
