hey, at least they throw us a 75 hour party so that we can numb ourselves even more, escape on drugs (because you know we cant afford to travel or to buy anything nice), etc to get through another workweek and be so worn down we just tolerate it, repeat the cycle again, and lose any motivation or goals for the future....

You'll fall out of love eventually. Even if he/she is a great person you will soon grow to hate them for letting you ruin your life in this shithole. Leave him/her now and save yourself the trouble of doing it after sinking 10 years in this pit. You can never be happy here.

Hey OP... appreciate the humour even though the first couple comments didn't get the joke.
I had nothing against Berliners myself but eating them in Berlin was a big problem... felt unclean :/
Unfortunately when you eat them outside of Berlin, they are no longer called Berliners!

Berliners are so lazy except when it comes to enforcing bureaucracy. That is why everything is broken, doesn't get fixed, or takes 3x as long and is 100x more inconvenient than getting it done in my home country.

Construction projects are begun and then abandoned FOR YEARS. Offices don't answer their telephones, agencies don't answer their emails, businesses lock their doors lights off during opening hours (BEFORE Covid). Broken poop is left broken, trash is not cleaned up, god forbid anybody cut the grass and weeds that are everywhere, graffiti is somehow culture, a bunch of pallets and trash lumber in an overgrown lot is somehow a nightclub...this is why Berlin is "poor but sexy". It's not because they are generous with those in need. It's because berliners are freaking lazy. Berlin, you're not even "sexy", wash your gosh darn hair.

Keep seeing people here say Berlin or Germany has the best marketing of any country ever. Well, according to this report here it's true:
www.tichyseinblick.de/daili-es-sentials/wieviel-die-bundesregierung-fuer-werbung-ausgibt/

It says that the amount of money Germany spends on advertising has increased 400% since 2013 and in 2020 to over 60 million euros per year, and in 2020 they've already spent at least 93% of what they spend in all of 2019.

It got me thinking. Back in 2013 I never heard anything about Germany. Never heard everyone falling over themselves about how great Germany is and how amazing the free education and health care and how everyone here is slim and beautiful and blah blah blah.

A German Doctor said it so it MUST be the only way... The Doctor in question was educated in the former East, had never updated her training and was spouting the same nonsense that she had been since the dark ages becuase some other authority figure told her it was the only way... Idiots... I showed them all the medical journals and information to the contrary but it was written by American and Brits so was therefore discounted.... Complete idiots

It's amazing how Germans think they're exceptional in the medical field. They still prescribe novaminsulfon for pain even though almost every first world country on earth has banned it for killing people. But all the research is published in English so Germans just pretend it doesn't exist.

'Wtf? Why the hell would you return to hell on earth? Is coronavirus lovkdown making you suicidal? '

The lockdown has definitely played with my head, as did my time in Germany. When I decided to quit learning German and get out of Germany, I instantly felt better. It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. But I also felt defeated, like the place just really got to me. I also feel that moving there was a poor decision and I honestly don't know what makes me think that going back would fix anything, and yet I keep thinking about the place. Someone on this page has mentioned Stockholm Syndrome and I think in my case I might have become a victim.

I was invited to drink with someone I met in Kreuzberg so yea I took the challenge and stopped being anti social in Berlin because man these people are so freaking rude and I am originally from American where if you are going to be rude or talk poop just hope you can back it up. So I went into this guy house for a beer and good lord the house was disgusting asf. Trash bags everywhere smelled funny poop stains all over the place I immediately felt felt sick. I text my friend to tell him to call me to say he need a ride so I can leave because I really did not want to hurt his feelings. My friend called me and I dipped instantly. The next day he came over my house to drop off something and he was so surprised that my house smelled good and look organized. Now tell me why don’t people here keep up with their hygiene I think that’s the FIRST thing you take care of when you wake up honestly

Looking at share accommodation and rooms for rent in Eastern Germany was something I'll never forget. I'll never forget all the bad smells and the attitudes of the people who were looking to lease one of their rooms out. In a land of rich cultural heritage, it's criminal.

When they built it there were signs all over the place that said "Welcome to the world's most modern train station". Germans think it's an innovation because it lets in sunlight. Oh yeah, that was also before a huge metal girder fell off the side of it because there was a minor wind storm.

Today I saw a couple of young French tourists try to ask the driver of a bus if it was going to the stop they wanted to. He just shook his head and avoided eye contact. So they got on the bus and asked at the plastic divider and he just ignored them. I tried to help them and apologized for how rude people in this city are. Normally if someone said "Everyone in this city is an asshole" the other person would say "No, no, I have met some really nice people here" but when I said it they said "Yes, we were just in a restaurant and the waiter was sooo rude. Do they all hate tourists here?" I feel bad for anyone who comes here for vacation.

The thing I love best about Christianity is that it's based on simple principles.

Jesus says in the bible that any fool can love their friends, but it takes a wise person to forgive their enemies.

Berliners would never understand this profound truth.

He also said, do not be like the heathens who make a grand show of their faith, but pray humbly in your room in silence and there your prayers will be answered.

Unlike Muslims who make a huge show of placing their mats in Berlin parks and airports etc and make sure the whole neighbourhood is woken from their wailings that sound like someone has an upset stomach.

I don't follow any religion, but if I have to choose a belief system, it will be christianity every time.
