Do Germans from other cities also hate Berlin?
I have no energy, guys. Honestly stoic. Sick of this idiot country and these idiot people. But most angry at myself because I have way more potential than to continue living my life here. These people and this country is like a Dementor, man. Just sucks the life and soul out of you.
"angry at myself because I have way more potential than to continue living my life here"
I feel the exact same way. The first few years I kept telling myself "this isn't real life, I'm only here temporary, soon things will get better" and let myself get stuck here. Get out before your brain chemistry gets completely out of whack and you lose all motivation. I can't even remember the last time I was happy.
So good to walk down the street now and not sea a parade of mincing queens, tattooed and pierced freaks, AntiFa fascists, radical homosexual feminists, drug addicts and alcoholics, never-ending spatis' and casinos, doner shops selling rotten 'meat', spit, piss and poop everywhere, muslims galore, morons, space cadets, boring asssholes, pathetic lefty snowflakes, virtue-signallers, social-justice-warriors, and all the usual suspect rent a crowd Soros lefties. Oh and the know-it-all, obnoxious uni students who have no idea of real life. What a phucking joke Berlin is.
Have you ever had a German “friend” turn on you out of nowhere
Oh wow you shaved your head and got tattoos so edgy so original very risque
Berlin often is a bitch. You're kind to one person and karmacally another one would return it but instead it's someone who won't do so plus worse. While that's also not true. I noticed you can be kind to others by leaving them alone. No ignore, no try to look away but leave them alone. It's true for some. Feelable. Bit funny too when you get those slurpy feet sounds, it means you "won". What I mean is noticing someone and seeing whatever they do, for example standing outside smoking during a lunch break, as alright, normal. This way you don't just walk past them unpersonally, while at the same time you are not intrusive to them. Slurpy feet...What that means...Picture someone walking your way. Person is stressed, probably comes from work. You notice them and the two of you have a few things to manage to not get in each others way, or not at all but it might appear as if. So you are kind of focussed on this person and they onto you. While they don't even want that, nor you. What do you do? Ignore them? Well, no need for that, why would you. Just as wanting to be left alone is not ignoring others, while sometimes it can feel like that. So you'd see someone who clearly wants to be left alone. Even if you wanted to get in touch with them, you'd first would respect how they feel. And likely such people won't expect that at all, and then they make this sound with their feet, like a walking mistake. It's like being personally unpersonal. And those who don't mind more closeness, it's feelable.
Another thing that ties in with that. You probably know ths situation. You walk on the right side, left pavement and someone comes from the other side. You walked there first so it does not feel to want to evade. (btw this is my reasoning when I keep walking...I doesn't feel right to evade at times, while it them does also not feel right to bump someone) continued: But the person acts like they didn't see you, which you could test and it's likely simply true. But you don't even care about such, because it's low. How do you evade without submitting? Treat them as if they were unintentional. Everything intentional can be treated such way. It's capped. Like even if you saw that they saw you, you still should not know this, so you would assert that they have not seen you because this is the only reason you care to know. Obviously I don't mean this in general and surely once they saw you having seen them, it doesn't "work". I mean when some people just passive aggressively try to seek an advantage by a situation. Surely you could also lie back to them, that you didn't notice how they saw you and this natural reversedness is sorts of like an orientation to one's original page.
Today there was actually someone who returned care. I was walking my way and someone came from behind to my right and he was walking faster than me. I did barely make him out but I did notice him and therefore I simply cared. Because I saw him. So I walked a bit over, very casual and especially without any deal about it (distance). We stood together waiting at the traffic lights, both on the right side if you want so meaning the traffic light formed the middle. And I did not feel in a lower position for gotten out of the way since I didn't see it as my way. I was on the left side, he on the right. And he then returned it when he turned left crossing my way. He looked back and actually cared cause it took me a moment to figure I'd actually walk over to the right. Surely seems like such a bug at the same time meaning I don't feel like such every day. It was just that if I was in his spot I'd surely felt angry if someone not walk over. I mean either way, it also has a constraintful touch because in my case I might just had enough of taking care and then it's no ignoring when I just walk on my way. It depends how I feel. While in this case, it was a good experience, and it didn't take much at all, I kinda did it in my sleep.
Shortly before there was another guy who came walking my way. I walked on the right side and he was in the middle but on my side. And he walked strongly and sorts of fast, so if I had kept walking it would have been very narrow. So he caught my attention and I looked what he's doing and intuitively I then walked over to the left because I just don't put up with this situation so to speak. And he did walk also this way, meaning to the right from his pov, but he did this unrelated to what I did. You could say we did so simultaneoulsy. He was simply too slow or not able to care or careless. And then he had to evade me. It's like he crossed the point of someone who would take care and even though he then did he actually didn't take care.
Another situation actually: Two people walking side by side ahead of me on the left pavement. They just crossed a street and I want to walk to the left though. I did not walk around to the right and then around them, I did walk left because I was there way earlier and took the short turn. And what do you know. If I had walked the long turn I had walked right into someone standing in the middle of the way fiddleing with their Iphone and I would have had to walk around them to the left again. Just went with my feel. The other 2 people didn't like that really cause they had to evade me a bit but it was right.
It also reminds me of another situation that also ties in with that. Simple situation. It's a way where more or less only one person can walk and to the side is sand where cars also drive and pretty much whoever walks there first, the other one walks the sandway. But in this case it was rather surprising since I just came around the corner and someone walked there. But you know I was fast and I just walked over not feeling at a disadvantage. But then there were two people in the neighbouring garden putting a beer case on top of another, kinda loudly. And had I walked past that guy, both of us sharing this narrow way, this would have been somewhat irritating and it looks like a bad thing but it was actually part of something good. Because it then caught my attention and this way the guy who walked on the way...he was surprised by this because he felt like all the attention is on him. He assumed I didn't walk over mindfully and he felt sorts of in a 1 up position. But then he ended up looking where I'm looking. So yeah this is pretty much like one theme. I don't mean to preach a way of being or something. There is so many other things. It's just for what it is. You could say it's about having confidence in your feel but also seeing it right or having actually something on your mind that's supposed to be there.
The guy that walked behind me, when I walked a bit over, I forgot to say that it was in the same way of leaving him alone. This was the whole point. I didn't concern him one bit. And just for detail, there was a wall to the right, that's why I walked over. Simple situation. By feel.
And as for the guy on the little way, I didn't get to that. I just did the right thing but I didn't leave him alone so to speak. I'm saying it was a kind thing to not bug others because I also don't like to be bugged. At the same time you gotto be careful with being kind (in the sense of feeling "too good" in a sheepish way) cause there is people who try to dump their shit. While all of this could also be a way to express anger. Do you see that? Walking over there and leaving that guy alone. That could be like a punch. Because he might have been about to blame something. While it was though just my feel. If I see him I see him, why would I walk on and he can't get through then. There's just no point in that and it surely would come back. But you see how often people do it in a "personal" way. You see? They get in touch with you about such a meaningless situation when they could just do their part and probably always meant to.
To balance this out cause it's a bit onesided... There was a guy at a checkout who was rude to others, treated them condesendingly. When it was my turn he remarked about things I bought. He then asked for the receipt and I said "Did you say something?" to which he said: "Na ob Sie den Bon wolln" (if you want the receipt) in this patronizing way. And now comes the point. To stay with a feel (as an orientation). I was saying he's lame so why would I change anything about that. I replied in the same way: "I can't hear you". Obviously because I didn't mean that I didn't hear him, I meant that he's lame and then he acts more lame.
Peoples lives are like a ticking time bomb in berlin

Jesus Christ, how darn incompetent is EVERYONE in Berlin? Cops called 20 times on these degenerates and nothing happens?
'German here, lived in several cities and I can say that Berlin is a shithole. I saw and experienced things I‘d have never imagined to see. Leaving the city soon hopefully."
"I don't understand how so many people are dumbfounded when i tell them this, Berlin is a dumpsterfire of a city, that's just how it is."
And then this one from Bumonabeach which makes me very happy because that guy is a darn insano.
"Oh you sweet summer child. I am in awe how quickly this came around. I am in a very similar situation - except with several physical attacks on me, plus theft, constant insults, false accusations in front of the police (running a drug lab, bugging the other persons flat), severe damage to the house, etc. - and this may be (or may not be...) only resolved at the end of this month. After almost 2 years. Fingers crossed."
LMAO, doctors in this third world country won't even give you a flu shot unless you're over 65 or have severe health problems. Doctor refused to give me one this year even though I have a severe respiratory condition. The health insurance companies here are apparently too cheap to order enough doses each year so they only have enough for few people. Back in the U.S. they recommend everyone over 6 months get a flu shot and you can get one at every darn drug store for $20 or less.
If you get depression/ptsd etc. in this city just remember it's a good thing. If you live here longer than 1 year and still like this place then something is seriously wrong with you.

"According to the study, Germany was the lowest-ranked country in a number of categories, including digital skills, the development and application of new technologies, the availability of wireless internet and electronic solutions for citizens."
I do work in IT at an international company. The enterprise solution I am working on currently is very popular. I am developer and do work mainly with people from all around the world and I do have to interact with Germans so much. However, when I have to do that interaction, It is simply nightmare. I have to explain same things at least 5 times for them to perform very simple task on the platform. It is not the case with rest of the people. They don't callaborate and argue with every bit of information you provide them. They are also resistant to change extremely much so, in German offices global deployments are either not happening or It does happen very slowly.
You want to see the absolute worse in Germans? Bring money into the conversation. When I thought these people couldn’t get any worse. These people will mess their own brother, sister, niece, nephew over money. I’ve seen 60 and 70 year old people fighting over a few thousand euros. I don’t want to put family business out there. But something is seriously mentally wrong with these people. They have no morals or principles when money is involved. I fundamentally hate these people. The things I’ve seen from these people can’t be undone.

What are some good ways to piss off Germans?
1. Day the water here is bad.
2. Say Happy Birthday before it's their actual birthday.
3. Don't look them in the eyes when clinking glasses.
4. Say their education system is too complicated.
5. Say anything negative about Merkel.
TIGHTlin, SCHEISSlin, BORElin, POORlin... rename this city!!!!!
What the hell is with LIEBIG 34? Since when do squatters have the entire media on their side? I have seen so many professional-grade posters in the city that someone paid for. Who the hell is behind this thing and why?
