None of my foreign friends were managed to establish good friendship or connection with Germans after many years spent in Germany. These people are coming from all around the world.
Either they went back to their home country / another country after they graduated or they stayed in Germany and have been working at jobs require English.(including myself) They all (including myself) gave up on German society. They built their own circle of friends which consist of other foreign people. Some of them are even married or engaged but they don't have German partners.
To sum up, Germans think "we are not integrated" and " we have lack of interest in German culture (like otherwise is possible)" What they don't understand that, for the rest of the world German culture and people are so weird to deal with. If you are sane and decent person, you would not try to get in touch with Germans.
I don't think, what my friends experience is uncommon. Remember please, this is not us, this is them who are problematic.
no its really difficult to "integrate". You are not taken seriously as a person and you are rejected from the get go. Theres not much you can do right or wrong you just have to accept that they are not open to outsiders and just have close relationships with other foreigners
Germans do not have close relationships with each other let alone with foreigners. I have met some decent ones here who are totally alone and their every attempt to build a healthy friendship failed because other ones wanted to use them for their own needs or suffered serious personality disorders which made them manipulative, controlling, unable to build emotional conncetions with human beings. It is insane.
I have sent a new year gift to my friend via DHL and guess what?
On tracking portal of DHL, the package is indicated as delivered. My friend was not at home when delivery came and someone unknown took the package. The package is gone to someone else who my friend does not know and can't find. Why on the earth do these people take random deliveries? Also why on the earth DHL can't leave the package at post office when receiver was not at home?
I hate these people so much. Can't wait to leave this country asap
These delivery drivers are too lazy to go to a post office after their regular route. Had it millions of times when I selected a shop as delivery address online as I knew I wasnt going to be home. Guess what? Either they still delivered it home and my flat mate had to accept it (luckily someone was home) or they gave it to a random stranger.
Also had the situation that it was delivered to a shop but something was stolen from the parcel.
Holy shit, someone showed me this archived kid's magazine from the 90s. Most of it's degenerate as hell, but there's a section for kids to ask for advice on sex questions and I came across this.
If you can't read German, it is from some 12 year old kid who wrote in that the guy who sits next to him is always masturbating during class. He asks if he should report him to a teacher and freaking "expert" that answers him tells him not to! How the hell is this country so completely broken up?

Fucking subhuman poop country.
Germany is to the EU what China is to the rest of the world.
I know what you mean. People here don't really seem to like Merkel, but they seem to still be aware that at least they know and understand her flaws and prefer that to unknown change. And if you look back at the high proportion of multi-term chancellors, it seems Germans have always been wary of change since WW2.
Germans are so emotionally immature and intellectually stunted. Maybe this is what happens to humans when you can never see blue sky or stars at night.

"........ but because the general German sentiment is if people don't articulate their needs, then everything must be fine for them"
There is whole science, art etc behind body language, how different cultures do use gestures, words, statements etc and how they should be seen / understood. These things are connected with emotions, intentions however in this country, you are expected to be robot without emotions, individual opinions... you name them. These people are unable to understand the humanity. It is funny but It is the truth. They are unaware of the unspoken language which literally billions of people use each day. For them life should be black or white. I am hoping to leave this country asap when everything is settled
These people
Q: Is Germany most evil nation in the history of the world?
A: Yes. Just look what they did with mass industrialized killing (IG Farben, Bayer, Pels - just a few of the German companies that conspired with the Nazis in genocide), the occupations of Eastern Europe, Holland, Belgium, France, Hungary. Look what they did with systematically torturing and murdering millions outside of the camps. Starving Russians during the Siege of Leningrad. Killing 25,000 Dutch civilians by cutting off their food and drink supply during HungerWinter of 1945. Something is wrong with these peoples’ souls. Period. And they STILL won’t admit what they did. Germany should do some serious soul-searching.

People like Mengele carried out cruel medical experiments on unsuspecting people, including children. Also, it is estimated that Belarus lost up to a quarter of its population because of German atrocities. Whole villages were completely destroyed and erased. There's no word in the English language that can convey how demonic Germans are.
Get the Fucck out of this Hellhole Country
germany is not the first world lmao
Happy New Year. I hope it's our last one here. Stay positive, work toward you escape and most important of all: F-U-C-K ALL K-R-A-U-T-S.
Germany really is about 30 years behind the rest of the world. CVs with headshots is probably one of the most obvious manifestations of that. Germany does "allow" (whatever that means considering there's no oversight, no guidance and no sanctions) anonymous applications, but every single certification or letter of recommendation is going to have your date of birth and city of birth written on it. They really don't think anything through. And, if we're being honest at all, if you send a German CV with all the unnecessary info like martial status, nationality, etc. and just don't attach a picture you're already going to be rejected automatically. fornicate Germany, fornicate Germans and fornicate the Marshall Plan for ever allowing these idiots to rebuild.
And in berlin you get to put your picture on your rental application too! The Aryan-ness of it shocked me when I got here. Nobody listened to me. They just goggled at me (anybody who has ever contradicted a german knows that look) and said "what do you mean, berlin is a very diverse city, we are not racist"
Anyone else have this problem with berliners/germans - they get to be blunt to the point of rudeness, but if you return the favor they have complete defensive meltdowns and turn into the victim? Then if you go back to being considerate like a normal person, you get accused of being manipulative? I'm convinced that as a foreigner you are expected to just quietly agree with everything a german says...
I've come to realize that people here have no capacity for empathy, even the women. The only way I have ever been able to convince a German of how I feel is by putting them in the exact same situation. Explaining it like an adult doesn't work. These people are emotional cripples for whatever reason. I used to be interested in why but I don't even care even more. Every day I am here I get more bitter at how this society can be so dysfunctional and yet still somehow manage to not crumble. If Germans weren't all so big on groupthink this place would have dissolved centuries ago.
Anyway, only way to deal with these people is to outgerman them whenever you're around them. Only downside is that you're actually going to get stuck acting like that eventually. Long-term you really need to get away.
Is it just me or has the quality of toiletpaper, kitchen paper towels and tissues degenerated over the past months? I cannot tell the cheap ones apart from the more expensive ones.
First thing I noticed when I moved here was that most brands of toilet paper here have the same texture as the paper towels. The only kind I have ever found that are somewhat soft are the 5-ply ones that are sold in small 2-roll packs. No idea why they don't sell softened toilet paper here, though. Probably the same answer I get for everything here: something something environment.
When I think back to my time in Berlin, I think “how absolutely insane, how did I manage that?” But when you’re living in it and there are so many way more fuckked up people around, you think your life isn’t so bad. You can only really compare it to your life before Berlin, not to the other people around
Glad they banned fireworks this year, you know, like a normal society that doesn't shoot fireworks at each other.
They should have a proper ban on it, not just this year. Its basically explosives being handed out to people with no control and too much alcohol. Germans complain about the US and guns, but you actually need a licence to own one.
I dont mind fireworks if done professionally and can even understand when some non-threatening fireworks is sold to the avarage joe, but hell its like a warzone on new years in germany.
the only reason they banned fireworks this year is because so many people end up every year in the emergency rooms because of them, and well, you know they need that space now for COVID. or how about just realizing they are dangerous because they cause yearly injuries and banning them altogether? stupidd germans.
