Peer pressure doesn’t exist as an adult ... I guess in Berlin do people ever truly learn what it means to be an adult? Maybe they don’t realize what’s happening if they’ve been here ten years

Berlin goes something like this
-visit Berlin on vacation, love it!
-decide to move
-move
-arrive can’t find a flat
-think things will work out once you have the flat and documents
-have the flat, spend your savings, can’t afford it
-spend your first winter in Berlin
-can’t afford to take trips home, maxed out credit cards
-cumulative encounters with crazy people over last few years and angry people and bad things happening and dark things happening
-start to realize something is wrong and that the party never ends and this place is insane
-by that point it’s too late
-have no money to leave Berlin.
-asked for more and more tax
-start to see the holes in the system and in morality.
-stuck in berlin
-cannot leave
-finally.... either one of two things happen
-leave
-dont
Good luck!

Never heard of either of those foreign celebrities but the only reason I can imagine someone could hit it here and not abroad is because they are too overly sexual to get considered acceptable somewhere normal.

One of the worst mistakes of my life was to move to berlin when I had some undiagnosed depression. The weird cold, bleak energy here caused me a genuine mental breakdown. I would like to go somewhere else and experience a different energy and culture and feel alive again, and see people who are not ashamed to feel joy and enthusiasm for life.

It’s hard to recognize truth when everyone goes on and on about how great it is and also ketamine doesn’t help with that. There are other places in the world. Everyone in Berlin has a tunnel vision. Stay long enough and you become so much loser you cannot actually live anywhere else at your age. Then you are sticks.

OP here, I actually went to the Krisedienst and I will say the German woman there who helped me was very kind. Sometimes there are comments on this site that get very hateful toward Germans but I don't want to do that. I don't want to hate people but I just want to talk about how common it is to get depressed here, something is wrong with this city. This is the first site where I see other people saying this too.

You’re right about water quality, but that’s not the reason. The real reason why this happens is because “water ist zu teuer”

What causes the lack of empathy.


People lack normal empathy, or the ability to feel what others are feeling, when something has gone wrong in their brains. It might be the result of a genetic defect, or physical damage due to trauma, or a response to their environment.

Considering that it is common to tell off or beat your children in Germany, it is no wonder that people there lack empathy. They are basically robots. Don't expect empathy from Germans or anything resembling humanity. Expect only 0 or 1.
