Key phrase so that you can survive in Berlin (and Germany) without becoming broken and depressed:
It’s not you. It’s them.
Germans: We have too many cases, better do fewer tests.

Why the hell are Germans so obsessed with being naked? Had to be in hospital recently and was stuck in a room with a German. For some reason he got up and walked to the shower naked for no freaking reason. WHY????
It's like if you're a taxi driver and you force your passengers to listen to your tirade about how much you hate foreigners or if you're a teacher and you brainwash your students with political drivel. Not having to see a chubby middle-aged sourkraut walk around shouldn't be that hard.
Are there any Tschömen girls without weird sex fetishes here? They’re masochist at best. WTF
Oh, maybe because I’ve Heard- Tschömen men don’t want to have sex
I'm 16 almost 17 years old girl. And what I figured out, is that the majority of middle ages men, are on under 18 years old girls. You know I'm getting weird sexual hunger starring looks on me especially from 50+ years old Germans. I'm not judging all Germans as pedos, but I thing a significant number is.
German porn sucks. All the ‘stars’ look like they work in Edeka.
Do people not grow up here because they have no adult role models? So glad I didn’t spend my entire 20s here to one day wake up at 40 unable to adjust to another society.
This place is the result of low or no standards in action
Sparen for what? It’s not like they can afford to buy anything of material value like a house or have any ambition to invest or further that money. Oh right sparen because they are just poor, sparen basically just because they have no choice. But of course being german they will put a noble twist on anything stupid they do.
The FDP party here is a freaking joke. It positions itself as a party that leans toward libertarianism and then it's leader, ex-fatass Christian Lindner comes out and says that Germany should open more diplomatic and cultural exchange institutions in the U.S. mid-west because so many people (of German descent) there voted for Trump. What a -goddamn- joke. Anyone remember when German politicians were foaming at the mouth when Richard Grenell said he would be promoting conservatism in Europe as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany? Do these fat German -fucks- even listen to themselves. Can't believe Germany thinks the world revolves around this ugly, cold, rude, boring, disgusting shithole. -Fuck- all Germans.
I have just been in Wilmersdorfer Str. worst street ever.. wtf is this city lol weirdos, freaks and wannabes everywhere lol This city is a joke. I don't feel sorry for the phucked up Germans. They choose to live this way, so fornicate em and their depression, ptsd etc.
This city makes you forget on how to make friends...
I remember the times when people just got together and were open to each other.
Here whenever you meet someone, either right away or soon, there will be some competition, jealousy, talks behind backs, something off...
As a woman, I always had/found my squad. That time of strong female friendship that can turn into a demon summoning if you piss one off. Girls unite type of thing.
Here females hate other females, funnily enough for such a “feminist” city.
Why are people so insecure and miserable? And how we cope with it?
It catches like the flu, I find myself at times anxious and distrustful.
Berlin changed me. It’s anti-social and depressing
I am suddenly obsessing over someone in Berlin. But I left the city. How do I stop waking up in the middle of the night, I’m in a different time zone. This has been going on for nearly two weeks now. I haven’t seen this person in months. Sorry BH I know you aren’t a therapist but I’m not sure if I should be overly concerned about this person. How is the situation there now ? Why is everyone STILL faking like living in Berlin is amazing especially now
As a side note I can’t tell if this person is mad at me for leaving Berlin, is stuck in Berlin, or doesn’t like me. Scientifically speaking if you start randomly thinking of someone it is just your mind obsessing, but for some reason I feel this person could be thinking of me as well. But to address it, they couldn’t, because they know how I feel about Berlin. So instead they just don’t write me and keep their feelings inside .
Try to do more of the things you love. Reading, binge watch a new silly show, practice hobbies and try meditation. It does help. There are apps like Calm where you can emerge into. Obsession is like drug addiction, a pain to get over it, but it is possible.
Also, always remind yourself that you cannot control or make other people see how you do, regardless if you are wrong or right. It doesn’t work. It has to come from them, fighting with it only will frustrate you and make you feel more desperate, helpless and drawn into.
Time is a great healer. Give yourself time, have patience and focus on yourself.
At the end of it, if this works out as you’d like, good, if not you will still be in a better place, grown and matured after you passed it.
Remember that in life all comes and goes. Bad times, but as well as the good times. It’s a never ending loop.
Hang in there and don’t try to control things out of your control
Be honest with yourself about what you are feeling, not what you are thinking. Write a list of what the feelings are behind the thoughts, and look at those feelings objectively and ask yourself if they are rational or irrational, it will make it easier for you to put the feelings into perspective. And you'll learn a lot about yourself by focusing on the feelings and naming them.
When you are in a supermarket and the see you next tuesdays pretending to ‘work’ there stand staring at you while you are making your mind up at the fridges. These see u next tuesdays don’t say excuse me, or wait patiently or try to busy themselves with another task. I get you need to do your job and one task requires you to restock... but guess what... another task is to serve the customers ... the CUSTOMERS pay your bills... you aggressive, spoilt, entitled, mean, sour, horrors. As a customer You are treated like a nuisance for simply being there and about to part cash. Everything is backward here. I am applying for jobs abroad. Maybe will move back to my home country the UK, where people are at least aware of what manners are.
Sorry that this is borderline xenophobic, but people from this part of the world (DACH, Benelux, Scandinavia) are complete garbage humans with few exceptions. I can now tell within about 2 seconds if a German is going to be a piece of shit. I can't describe it exactly but when they speak you can sense it within a single syllable.
When I first moved here my exgf's brother convinced me to go jogging with him once. I actually didn't want ro but did it anyway to help a budding friendship (I thought). He just used the opportunity to show off (he had been running for years and I was a novice). It was hard to keep up, and annoying, but whatever I thought. Maybe he needs this kind of confirmation. But then he started farting a whole bunch in the middle and was suddenly like "omg I have to shit" and ran for the bushes. Like this motherbitch couldn't even go 30 minutes without shitting. What an embarrassment of a nation.
On the Maslow hierarchy of needs pyramid, the only people who reach the top in Berlin or maybe even middle are German
Yesterday a guy managed to bump into me on a freaking field in a park. I walked over the grass and he managed to gravitate towards me and bump into me. How ?
I know what you mean,. The trick is to look to the side as you get close as though you don't notice them and keep on walking straight into them, you will always win a game of chicken with Berliners. They constantly stared and bumped into me when I was living there, weirdo freaks.
2nd comment guy is strangely correct. if you look at them they will plow into you. if you act like you don't see them they will move. some kind of caveman hierarchical display or something, i don't know. definitely obnoxiously stupid though.
p.s.: monday after work I saw some dude and his gf pissing together next to a super busy road as they both giggled uncontrollably like some kind of demons.
How the hell do none of my neighbors seem to have jobs? My apartment isn't cheap, so it makes no sense to me. Everyone in Berlin seems to be on the dole.
lol i used to live in a studio apartment and two early 20s guys lived in the one below me. they were scream nonstop all the time and were ALWAYS home. i swear it seemed like they never left to even go shopping or anything. tried confronting them and telling them to stfu sooooooooo many times but they would never answer the door. pretty sure they were both massive autists based on how they acted, which I guess is why they lived in Berlin. I was so happy when I finally found a new place and never had to hear their annoying voices again.
The economy is afloat By working peoples taxes, that is whose welfare you are paying. You are paying their welfare because german society is racist/xenophobic and won’t properly employ foreigners. Given that info, foreigners are recruited to Germany to pay taxes for the other foreigners who are stuck there on welfare.
