I'd like to know what keeps you all in Berlin? I moved to Berlin for a relationship and if I knew what was in store for me, I'd rather choose another city. Not everyone lives in Berlin for the alternative scene. This culture has never been close to me and never will be. I know a guy from Syria who told me that as soon as he gets a German passport he's going to move to Spain. If you're young and nothing is keeping you in Berlin and you're from the EU like me, why are you wasting your time here? I live in Berlin for my wife and two kids but we are planning to move to Slovenia. I will be glad if you write why you are in Berlin.
In time this city makes you doubt yourself, crushes your self esteem leaving you to believe you might fail further…
By now you’re probably lonely, probably think it’s a pandemic and things should wait out… that you might struggle, that you might be in a crisis, etc.
For most of us is the doubt and fear…
But the only crisis is Berlin itself.
I came here because my partner is here. I never loved the city, in fact I hated it almost immediately. I hate the weird culture, Germans are so negative and argumentative and not normal at all. It feels like they only have extremes- either constant excessive shaming or degeneracy, either never grow up or get old very fast. I feel like every day I wake up here the world is getting smaller and bleaker and trashier and I have to pay a penalty for actually feeling emotions and having a soul.
Has anyone experienced being shamed for optimism or positivity here? If so please share your examples so I know I'm not losing my mind.
Im in Barcelona right now. It is so much better than Borelin/ Gaymany . Everyone here mind his own Business. No one Stare. No passive aggressiveness. What a fuckking Shitthole Country Chermany is and how fucktards Chermanz are. Lol
OMG, today a woman asked another woman what sex her dog was and she answered, wait for it, "it's non-binary". My guess is she is am SJW, virtue-signaling, lefty phuckwit. What I'd give to be a dictator for one year.
who the phuc is this idiot always asking about little girls and Helga/Alexander?
You’re becoming phucing annoying… and you‘re acting like a kraut.
Other than that, a non-binary dog is … interesting, until it’s mating season and there’s either bisch period everywhere or a wursty dog dicc humping everything…

How German lol
I came to Germany in order to study master course. I have managed to know over 30 people very closely. ( All of them were foreigners)
None of them have ever had German flirt / partners. This should tell something to you
Jesus, do the moderators on r/Germany allow ANYTHING to be posted? Get a load of this:

Berlin is a broken record. It’s so boring
I only loved this city when I was getting high every weekend. Now that I'm sober, I just notice how bothersome is the mess of a city, which Berlin is.
People are pushy, everything needs to be fast even if a thing might benefit from being done with more time.
So many weird people. So many drug addicts. The buildings feel claistrophobic.
And seeing an ambulance every day because some idiot did harm makes me afraid that I might be next.
And yes, so many dumb people live in this city. I feel like I've lost my sanity here.
When I lived in Berlin, I was always turning behind me because I was afraid. I preferred to stop cycling in this city altogether. I was afraid to walk even on the pavement. I moved out of Berlin a year and a half ago and it took me a long time to calm down and realize how terrible it was. Don't ever let anyone tell me Berlin is great because I'll probably give that person a few slaps.

Also when you do manage to get to a good level of German if you make the tiniest mistake they seem unable to understand the whole sentence, when you make no mistakes there’s something wrong with the pronunciation. Once you’ve learned that you need to correct the accent.
Berliners are rude, racist, xenophobic, jealous, hateful little vile evil trolls. I’m at the point where everything and every one just make my stomach turn. Nasty white trash of a people. I can’t understand why international companies bring their business here. I can’t understand why young people (university educated people) continue to come here. The secret about this dirty place should be well know to people by now. This place isn’t as open as they claim but the opposite. That women yelling about English is just one example. The problem here is that Germans don’t mind their own business. They are always in other people’s business. Trying to tell you how to act, dress or whatever that should be the “German way.” These people are boring and are mentally draining. Dealing with them drains my energy to no end. One is allowed to speak their birth language. Who are they to say otherwise, they just mind their business and let people live their lives. Nobody has time for their shxxt.
Contrast this with the ubiquitous "In Berlin you can be whoever you want to be" marketing bullsh!t that every walking, breathing Berlin NPC cites as why they love this city.
The only time I thought this city was bearable was when I was an overly anxious 20-something that felt so weak and impotent that I couldn't survive without Germany's safety net. After a lot of self-improvement I now believe in myself and realize I will never be on welfare and thus have exactly zero incentive to stay here.
Germany's only attractive to people with an IQ below 90 or severe and crippling mental illness. I honestly believe that wholeheartedly.
Man I speak German fluently and if you read one of my written texts you wouldn't figure out I learned it as an adult.
But I do have an accent. And Germans are quick to get on my nerves because of that.
Doesn't happen with any other nationality. So which one is which? Should foreigners learn Cherman and integrate? Or should we just avoid learning German because of the country's obsession with denigrating foreigners?
Have you ever noticed how Germans only care about other Germans? A few observations:
- When there is any kind of plane crash, accident or natural disaster, the German media's first instinct is to say how many Germans were among the victims
- Even when the German media reports on foreign countries, they almost always only interview Germans (e.g. www.welt.de/vermischtes/plus231647601/Hochsensibilitaet-in-Corona-Zeiten-Die-Freiheit-als-Qual.html)
Why even bother reporting international news at all?
I have a situation here. I moved away, but still in Germany, started in a new company,. All good, but the Germans are very self centered and don't like to explain how the things work in the office. One other German girl started after me and she had the conversation with the boss, they said because they don't have time to explain things to her, she maybe needs to start to search for another one, although they knew she just graduated and didn't have a y experience. So I have experience working in other German companies, but they said it like she was the last one to hire so she better search for something else.. And Im struggling to work there and I don't want to search for another job right now, too much stress and I don't think there will be a better place than that.. The question is, why the German girl is blaming the system of the last person? I don't trust my boss anymore, who is capable of saying something like that.. And we are on good turms with him.. I don't know what to think and how to behave.
The explanation that only because she was the last one to hire and not about the working ethics is bothering me. I'm a good working, trying my best and so, but no, the only reason is that she just was the last one to hire". I hate this and I don't feels myself good about the situation at all...
They are idiots enslaved to their blinded vision bs internal politics, clearly these people don't understand proper mangement. If they don't have time to explain you your job, how the hell are you supposed to do your job? also if there is no time he should mandate a manual be created. Germans are pure retards. Sorry for your experience.
This city needs to properly cleaned up; all these people are trash! What a bunch of weird creatures down on the subway.
I recently moved away and I realized one thing. Wherever I am now, everything is better than Berlin! The only thing that makes sense is to leave this crazy city. What are you waiting for? It's summer. Pack your things and get out.
Germany likes to say it’s better than the USA... trying to think in what ways? Basically the only thing I can think of is if you want to go on welfare
