How can these people be so unlikeable? So crazy in the head. So evil. So RUDE. So perverted.
It seriously boggles my mind. Is it the water?
Don't forget the synthetic hormones in the water here. Pretty much every German female starts taking the pill when she's 16 at the latest and never stops again until she hits menopause. Pretty sure the whole Berlin water supply system is complete trash and it's all just recycled with no fresh water coming in. I doubt they pump water from the Spree and there are no aquafers here. Last year they were discussing installing special filters at water treatment plants here because the concentration of heart medicine is so high but they never actually did it. Probably the same with illegal drugs - there was also a story not long ago about how Berlin had one of the highest concentrations of ecstasy in the sewage here.
Does anyone notice that there are an abnormal amount of children running around Berlin? Why are all these Germans breeding so much?
Which Berlin neighbourhood has the most insufferable people?
I wonder where that silver selling woman is who is on the background of berlin hater? Has anyone seen her?
If Berlin is like Hell, then where do Germans go when they die?
Way too much scum and trash on the streets, poverty, hypocrites everywhere, nobody cares about anything, people who are worth nothing thinking they’re kings and queens, construction work and cigarette smoke around every corner. I had never witnessed so much wasted persons until I came here. Their faces say everything. The city is a combination of Prussia‘s elbow mentality and absolute hopelessness. I used to teach at school and I did quit. Never again! The best thing about Berlin is the train ride to Amsterdam.
You can’t teach germans anything, only another German can do that. Because germans stick together and cannot fathom another culture giving anything to input. Only the superficial aspects like the “costumes” (aka 1950s level cultural appropriate stereotypes) that they wear to their dumb butt parties to, for one moment, Escape from their inner actual self loathing of being german.
I think of people where I come from and how we try to keep positive attitudes, and how it's okay to find joy in all kinds of simple things. Here I am judged for joy in simple things. The response is, "WHAT'S THE POINT?!" "What does it matter?!" So German. Always, "what's the point, what's the point?" Until you feel you have to agree there is no point to anything. I used to be the kind of person who was happy from, I don't know, picking some flowers or making a really good sandwich. Now I feel vaguely guilty and stupid enjoying these things.
C O R O N A N E W S:
which blues singer from Dublin doesn't want her friends and fans to know :
A) she's got it.
B) HOW she got it
C) how LONG she's been spreading it?
Somehow just realized I probably could have made a killing in Berlin selling my poop to German perverts. A lost business opportunity
As a side note: Germans don’t like or understand lingerie. They only like cheap plastic outfits or leather. Yes. You heard it correctly. Germans see lingerie as being pointless. They don’t understand the aesthetic or why you would pay so much for it. There is something deeply wrong in that culture. Everything is upside down / backwards
Dear friends who have lived in Germany / Berlin for more than 5 years: how do you manage to stay sane and not feel inferior in this place? Im tired of trying to stay positive while surrounded by so many evil, crazy, and xenophobic people. How do you do that? Im desperate
You have to keep a emotional and if possible physical distance from these people. Don't give them the time of the day.. You have to understand that these people aren't and never will be superior to other cultures on this planet. They are not and I repeat absolutely not superior. Most of them are cowards and will not fight for themselves or people near to them or family, they fornicate them selves over and all the people around them.. They try to keep you down at a low energy level to make them think they are superior. Never ever let them keep you down and suck out the life of you like vampires that most of them are.Your life is valuable and you as a human being can never ever allow anything to keep you down, remember that everything that makes you feel like sh*it is straight out evil.. And if anybody anywhere gives you the feeling you are not worth anything is straight evil and from the devil..Sounds crazy but that's exactly what it is and you have to fight with everything you got in hand.
OP, let me give you some insight. I moved here in my early 20s for a relationship. No degree, no Ausbildung, just regular secondary school. Got my first job here and was made to feel like an idiot every day. In Germany, if you don't have a degree or AT LEAST a 3-year Ausbildung you must be a complete moron. I spent several years walking around feeling like a freaking loser, feeling like if I lost my crappy job I would never find another one, feeling like a third-class citizen. When people would ask me what I do for a living or what I studied I'd feel flush and embarrassed and had trouble answering. And I was entirely excluded from university here because Germany refused to recognize my non-EU secondary education.
So I worked my butt off, collected enough certificates to go study. Got a BA and immediately after got an MA. Graduated on time (about 25% of the people in my program managed to do that). Got German citizenship right before I graduated. Felt like I was finally in control of my destiny, like I was a full-fledged citizen here.
Then I was given a stark reality check by Germany. Impossible to find a job with my degree. Hundreds of rejections, dozens of interviews where I got ghosted. Finally got another crappy job, one much like the one I was fleeing before I went to university. Surrounded by Germans with no degree and no Ausbildung. People much stupider than I am but with a vapid kind of arrogance in making really bad suggestions. But too dumb to realize that having a firm position on something does not mean you're smart.
That's just my long way of saying don't even bother trying to play their poop game. As a foreigner you'll never succeed in anything here. Decide for yourself that these people are cancer and that their opinions don't mean shit. Get out as soon as possible. You're going to enjoy your life somewhere else more. Germany has an illness that can never be fixed.
Hard to believe this is “the best economy in Europe”. I feel like I’m in a third world country. I imagine frankfurt is completely different but Berlin is a ghetto
Some inspiration: Getting an idea about view-angles. Look to the side and notice how much you can see behind you. Look at your phone and notice how much you can see in front of you. Look straight and check how much you can see to the side. It makes it easier for example to say "Excuse me" when you realized someone already saw you. While they might just be a bit paralyzed. But you won't then say it as if they havn't seen you. Just a good thing overall to do. Another thing: Actually take a moment at home, to see where is the place for the wagon and where is the place where you go through, in a supermarket. Trust me it will come in handy. It's not about being about details. The less irritation, the more flow you have. So you can see to take serious such things. Which doesn't mean to be overly stuff or serious. It just means to take something serious. It can feel so good if you felt to catch 1 pasta that was about to fall into the sink because you felt so and then did it like you werew saving a penalty in a football match. This about going with your feel. It is meant to be such a seemingly meaningless detail. It is a moment of aliveness. It is a big problem to not go with one's feel and one gotto take it serious aka not take it not serious. It's all easy and good and especially it's joyful and exciting. There is always these moments throughout a day.
Another inspiration: If you had a really rough and annoying doorbell and someone (post) rings longishly and you were in your thoughts and now you lost your train of thoughts and feel angry. What do you do? 1. Express your feel. How do you do it? By opening the door 3. How do you open the door? Hit it back long? No, that would only make someone's day who knows the doorbell is like that and it is not how your feel expresses. You mean to say RING IT SHORTER!! Right? that's your feel. So you would open the door shortly. If the person manages to open the door in this short time (that equals your feel) they likely were expecting you to be pissed off about it. I had one say thank you to me, in this shit-friendly way (it was hearable from downstairs) which was clearly something the person already knew she would say, since she did not take my feel into account. To even see! that you can express how it made you feel...Because it might appeared like opening the door would be the complete opposite of that. :)
Eh, whatever. Here is another one. When somebody tells you to put the card, into the thing where you put the pin, don't take it out before the person will obviously tell you or you will take it out at the same time that they tell you which feels stupid. But you gotto feel that they will do so. It looks like this: you'd be looking into the air. That's how you feel dignity.
I wrote it a bit abstract, I couldn't really say what it really is. Because of course, you don't stare into the air. It has a meaning, it has sense. It doesn't feel like taking it out when you feel the person will comment over it. That is simply the sense, that's what I mean. In my mind I saw this is not understood by many while everyone knows the feel surely. Just trying to inspire you (not so good at that). I mean see it for yourself, I'm not writing any shi.t here. Dignity is dignity. Or go ahead and take it out when the person tells you if that feels cool with you. Good. Do it.
But I think I was actually pretending to be in my thoughts. It was not communicated to the other one. I think this is how it expressed. While it was not a lie. It's hard to tell what it actually was. ...Yeah now I have it. It's the only way to express it because it expresses anger about being looked at as stupid. The person should never believe you were in your thoughts. But yeah, some say these things also just friendly and then it doesn't feel dumb. You know this is way better than going like You think I'm fu.cking stupid, that would give a lot of credit. And I'm not saying to see the other one as an opponent. So yeah, as you can see it wasn't easy to put into words. So keep your feet calm. It's just some inspiration, it doesn't have to be perfect.
I did then get the receipt, she was handing it to me while wishing me a nice evening. Somehow she knew I wanted to have it (irony), while I really did hahaha :), Idk why but I felt I spontaneously wanted it, felt like it. Felt like I wanna check some things cause it cost a bit more. Just forgot to wish her a nice evening too, but she didn't mind :)
I just went shopping. The energy outside is unbearably evil. What's wrong with the place ?
The ancient Sumerians believed that the afterlife was a miserable, dark, gray existence in an underworld where the people ate dust and gradually faded away into wisps. Berlin holds a lot of looted Sumerian treasure. Think of that next time you are chomping down on some tasteless imitation of international cuisine, no one has smiled at you in you don't know how many days, and the grey clouds haven't shifted for even longer.
Put simply, everything annoys me about them, Germans. Here is a list of my 'of the moment' pet peeves:
- The way they talk with High rise terminal inflections. They talk in lists, because the language dictates that the verb comes at the end, so you have to listen to the very last word. Irritating
- The language is a minefield and sounds like ar3e, it does not flow and they do strange things with their mouths like a monkey to make the sound. the grammar is horrible and the presicion leave no room for ambiguity... which is the issue I take with teh culture... no room for ambiguity and personal interpretation... always this is X and that is Y. Because that is the way it is and do not question it ... we are right and our culture is very successful
- Their need to reinterpret whatever you have said and reformulate it to their own pigeon holed idea of the world... i.e. reductive
- When you say one thing they need to say it back to you... eg. you say 3rd floor... "3er Etage" and they will say "3er Stock?". It feels like they are correcting you
- Which brings me to didactic behaviour. Dogmatic
- Childish mentality. The need to show off that they are open parents and failing to exert any discipline because generally showing consideration is not done here
- casual, subtle or overt racism. Mentioned I was going to live in China for a year and get met with mocking asian voices/accents and making their eyes slated with their fingers... they were in their 50s, not children btw
- name tags on doors, no privacy
- saying Disnay
- inability to pronounce the A in anything. It isn't eppel it is Apple
- obsession with Bio / organic themed whatever and scorning, which is in general their smug attitude
- criticising foreigners and enjoying it, yet being the biggest hypocrites
- never accepting they could be wrong
- no one can empathise, they only think of me me me
- speaking before thinking
- shouting and barking, rather than negotiating or critiquing
- their only joy is taking pleasure in other peopples misfortune or even suffering
- jealousy, esp of a foreigners life/status
- no value for beauty and aesthetics, but the few who do are so arrogant and elitist about it
ugly buildings, landscapes, dimensions... doors are all strange sizes and the shapes of things are all 'off', never cute or quaint... just practical and like a factory...
- allergic to curves and circles in their designs, it is always square and straight lines
-the standardisation of anything designwise... which extends to shopping
- the horrible packaging and logos
- the ugly flat colours... that eagle on the passport... the word Deutsch...eugh
I have said my piece... for today! This is a miniscule fraction of all my thoughts about their shortcomings. No nation is perfect but this one is particularly unlikable.
