How many times have you heard these questions from German(s)
Why did you come to Germany and when are you going to leave ?
Its normally the same set of questions or at least it used to be: How long have you been here, how did you learn such good German, how much longer are you staying (when are you getting out). And I haven't gone much deeper than that with many Germans. Maybe they stop asking these annoying questions so much the more assiilated you are.
Berliners are highly suspicious of people from outside Berlin. They have this superior attitude that makes them think other people are never good enough to break into their circle. One girl said to me "I don't think you can be considered a Berliner unless you have lived at least half your life here". And I replied "I don't want to be a Berliner". Who on earth would.
What happens to Berlin artists as they age? Do most leave for another city? I’m just wondering because I know some who are Over 35.. and I worry for them
I love this Jewish guy for his honesty about how Donald Trump lost because of the mainstream media, anti-Trump war. Germany and Berlin will be next, if not already.

It’s nice to see when people come to the realization that Berlin is a shitthole on their own
Don’t worry, the day is coming when people from Canada, USA, Australia, and the UK will stop migrating here. At least the normal ones who want a family and a stable income. The mentally dead heads who are 45+ and are on drugs, partying like they are 25 will to come here. It will be interesting to see how these people turn out when they are 70 and 80. Will they party like their are 20 then? No kid, grandkids or partner because they banged everything that moved and now they are used rotten goods at 70. Lets see how cool they are then when they are 80 and alone. I think Berlin will become a complete embarrassment to all of Germany soon. This garbage city will get what’s coming to them. No tourists and no recent grads coming here to help the economy...what then, Berlin?
Guys, I don't think I'm going to make it through this winter. I think that every year, but I've now given up all hope that things are ever going to improve for me. And the worst part is that I have wasted so much of my life in Berlin that I'm in my 30s and have no semblance of a career or anything to look forward to. I'm worried if I move home things will be even worse and that I'll end up on the street. Suicide seems like the only sane solution at this point. I'm not writing this for sympathy or in hopes that people say "don't do it" and all that. Take this as a warning to GTFO while you're still young.
And by the way, if you're like me and you think to yourself "i'll just stick it out a little longer" in hopes that your next job is going to magically have decent coworkers or that after you finish your german degree program that things will be better then stop deluding yourself. I lied to myself for years that I could handle Berlin by going on frequent vacations with all the mandatory time off here. Well I enjoy my vacations but I have absolutely no joy in my daily life in Berlin and I hate every second of it. I fall in love with every other city I visit because this place is so bad. I can't even think straight anymore because I hate it here so much in this shithole.
It’s eerie, what you wrote at top is identical to my own story here. I have thought about offering myself. But I’m the kind of person who would go and murder the individuals who caused me pain first then I would off myself.Seriously no joke. I’ve had problems with my German managers and it got so bad I had thoughts of killing his ass. The thoughts freaked me out because I was freaking serious. I contemplated for a second if I could do it. I hated myself for thinking evil thoughts like that. And if you are like me going back to your home country is a bad idea. Pick a country you like, visit a couple times and decide if you want to go there. It’s not hard, once you start traveling and living in different countries the process becomes easy. If you lived in one country before then you know how it works. Remember, this whole situation is chess when one deals with these Nazis bastards. If anything, use your anger, hate, and rage as a weapon to fuel your desire to leave this place. If that means cheating and stealing from them to leave then do it. There is no right way to deal with Germans. But get that killing yourself poop out your head.
Don't die in Berlin. I am also struggling with those kinds of thoughts, I was very suicidal in 2018, then 2019 I was building myself back up again, then comes 2020 and it's like being back in the hardest times. Why don't you go check yourself into the Kriese dienst, maybe the hospital, then consider that it's okay to go back home and also many people get jobs by padding their resumes, especially when they have work experience in a foreign country. The 30's are a really hard phase of life and fuck-ups feel really big. Give yourself some credit.
I left three years ago and life is now very good. I live by the sea, own my own place earn > €100k. This all took time to accumulate but I don’t regret a thing.
Don’t top yourself in Berlin because it’s the equivalent of losing the special olympics. Even by identifiying that the place is a shithole, you’re ahead of 90% of people there.
Please don't do it.
Germans are not normal, mentalky weird and sick. Just leave by Feb-March when the weather warms up. You can go to another coumtry or your home coumtry. I'm getting out by March with a Super job offer. Life is full of surprises, Cheers bro!
Never trust these backstabbers. You deserve better.
Is being an artist really cool if your mommy and daddy are paying for your Berlin lifestyle? Last time I checked this was when scenes died
Nailed it, 15 years ago when real artists and other creative people came to Berlin from all over Europe, it was very interesting. Posing hipsters and lefty virtue-signallers destroyed the Berlin vibe, hasn't been creative for at least ten years, full of clones these days.
So surpeisingly I have found a new job, even a Good one during these mad times, although I actually wanted to leave and Go home to my country, where I probably wouldnt find a job at the moment!
What would you do? Leave alltogether to somewhere with uncertain future or stay here with a job where at least you have some stability, Even thouhgh you hate the place?
Germany's economy tanks least of all EU countries except maybe Sweden. If you're thinking of returning to somewhere else in the EU then it might be smart to wait it out here a bit if you've still got a job (and if you can stomach this place for another 6 months).
I cannot stand all the lefty fake sincerity, Berliners are mealy-mouthed frauds.

Watch the video to the end to give a comment. I believe this video describes Germans and the weird foreigners who love it here so much. Encounters with both groups have made me research the topic in the video more in depth. Comments are welcome.
Why is it that germans, every time something horrific happens to you in Berlin, decide to gaslight you. “Wow I am so surprised that happened that Is not like Berlin at all”. Man shut up. I only lived in Berlin for two years, you’ve been here 15 or even your whole life. As if this is the first time you’re hearing of this shit. My all time favourite was when a black german told me he had never experienced racism in Berlin.
New York is the place to be. Sorry about that.
