I hate when Germans when I complain say , well in America it’s worse when I’ve told them multiple times I am
You know what, I’m a nice person and don’t need to put up with the attitude here. Screw this city
Don't overthink it but I want to write about it. Maybe it is helpful also for someone or maybe I see it off. There is these people who go on my nerves often at checkouts. They used to ask whether or not one wants the receipt. Lately they hold it in front of one's nose and say "and the receipt!" but it's not friendly and respectful at all. So I was thinking about that usually I would let the person know, that I don't want it but since he acts like that, I can't do so, so I am actually not ignoring the person. All I am doing is to not let him know whether I want it or not. I don't want it but I can't let him know, so I'd just say bye to him which is not passive aggressive. The way it feels is, his dumb behaviour is just bringing the according things. First I felt to say: Well, imagine that, I don't want it (you idiot). I feel it can also be good to rationally approach these things. I mean he is presupposing that one wants the receipt. Such a stupid thing can't go naturally unpunished. And the karma of it is already there, by not letting him know because he doesn't offer space for that. While it is not igoring to him at all which is what he would feed off you could say. I don't know if that makes any sense.
What I mean is, he can say that, it doesn't matter. If he feels to say such a stupid thing. And I really think it's off to reply to it, that one doesn't want it, like a hoop to jump through. It's kinda funny when you say bye to it I guess when that's the only thing to say to it.
No, I'm not on crack. I don't even know what that is, but you seem to know very well. It's really immature and dumb your act. It's obvious I just rationally looked at something, not to say that there might be themes, so it's not even something overdone as for the situation. I think your overall capacity to think or sense is just pretty poor.
You sorts of people always acted like you were above me, but you're not. I just don't know why I tell you, it's not that you could see that. You know Idk why the fukk you feel entitled or competent to say things like please let it go. What the fukk do you know. Especially you always try to frame what I wrote in ways I never actually was and it's really lame because it's clear, what is what. I think I got to the gist of this particular situation. I just don't know wtf you are doing. Can you not go somewhere else? I mean you obviously write useless stuff. Why do people like you get away with that? Where are all the others that just tell how dumb you are and how useless and untrue the things you write are? What is this act to be afraid of what simply is up? Some guy comes in and writes are you on crack and that guy is cool? That's what you respect? That's alright? How could you let this guy just write such a thing to a very innocent post of mine? He's a clear jerk, rude person.
Or what does that mean to feel love, it sounds so supposed to and what I meant are things that are there. As I showed, whatever he says doesn't impact, so there is a relief from that, that's also a thing, and it would just express. If it affects one then feeling love won't happen and should not happen.
Hi everyone.I finally left Berlin yesterday.I just want to say thanks for all the comments which made me feel not lonely and stop questioning to myself.I felt so tired and devastating after get dissapointed people again and again.I just tried to be nice with respect but people just take adavantage of it kept betauing me(I am not talking about relationship)I wonder if I was wrong questioning myself if I was not worthy enough to be friend of them,colleague of them?? and I am extremely unlucky for everything.But I was not the only one.Can not write all because I am bit sentimental to start new life now after wasting my 3 years of youth to wrong people and wrong things.But just want to say thank you.And you will get out one day soon.Until then lets be strong!!
This culture is psychopathic, this city attracts psychopaths. It kills sensitive people.
these f+cking Germans thinking eating bread and deli meat is a reasonable dinner. and these dumb-ass Germans who think spaghetti and ketchup is anything other than absolute lowest rung plebian food. what the fuck?
German cuisine is: a dozen types of cheese that all taste the same. A dozen types of processed pork. Bread that must always be eaten with some comments about how "Only German bread is real bread! Every other country just eats white stuff!" And lastly, beer consumed at levels that qualify for alcoholism.
All these weird German companies virtue signalling that they support Black Lives Matter and George Floyd. Every time I see these phony advertisements it makes me want to genuinely know how many black people they are employing. Hell, even Turkish or Arab people. My guess is zero because I never see black/brown people here working in offices. Give me a freaking break.

I should have listen to a girl when I moved to berlin. I don't forget her words.
" Never dance to the beat of berliners. This could be your end of everything. Your mental health, motivation, the way you think and behave. Be in your own bubble"
She was so right
Op here. Forgot to say that since a couple months I am following her advise and it works. I focus on my future, make plans, and think positive as much as I can. And of course I read a lot.
And believe it or not I can handle the germans a bit more than before. I hope it helps some of you guys
I swear by god I get paranoid walking to my mail box.
My dad used to study in germany in the 80s. He always made jokes about the germans. If a german sexual act a woman the next day he will do a protocol about the cost of the date, ranking of the sex and so on and will send a letter to her address since that's the way he grew up. This is so true
So many unemployed people in this city. EVERY appartment I have ever had here I have noticed that either the person above me or the person below me was home 24/7. Every darn appartment and every darn day. How do people live their lives like that for years?
It does not make sense to work full time in Germany.That's why after working couple years, It is extremely smart move to collect unemployment benefits. Let me make a calculation. In Germany 2500 € net is something you could earn on average as white collar employee. If you earn more than this, you are extremely lucky.
2500 € will be distributed something like that. Remember please for "real jobs" you need to be in Hamburg, München, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf etc
650€ on average goes to rent If you would like to live in somewhere apart from student dormitory.
100 € is your internet + phone + electricity
150 - 200 € for transportation on average
10€ per lunch in a day while working. It makes 200 € per month
200 - 300 € on groceries
The above costs are fixed costs. They could be slightly more or less. 1000 € per month is your disposible income to spend for your hobbies, travelling, buying clothes, partying etc
Well If you would be unemployed you would get a bit more than 1500 € and you would just pay for rent + 100€ for internet + phone + electricity + 200 € on groceries. There is only 400 - 450 € difference between working full time and being unemployed.
Would you even consider to work ?
450 is nothing, but they have low standards so no need for a normal amount of money. they dont buy good food, no cleaning or any beauty products. their clothes are from the dumpster and they have unfurnished and undecorated flats. so i guess no need for money for them.
It’s funny, I just realized some of my friends In Berlin hardly travel because they have no money to. This is another reason why they think life in Berlin is normal. Well yeah if you haven’t any money to escape or see other places aka actual cities in the world, you are going to just accept life as poop after awhile. And it’s quite bad the ones that don’t travel, they aren’t from there but can hardly visit home and well, they probably feel like complete freaks when they leave and have to come crawling back to the Berlin isle... problem is, they forget how to live normally and they miss out seeing the rest of the world.... just don’t move to Berlin kids.
I know so many lamenting people they knew that left (especially lovers) they feel abandoned etc but “that’s life”.... uh no, that’s not normal. People don’t move around so much elsewhere. This isn’t how life is. Your friends also dying from drugs left right centre isn’t how life is. This is how Berlin is.
Well yeah I remember last summer I wanted to take a vacation and was broke so the only place I could afford to go was Mallorca. That’s coming from me the year previous having enough savings to move to Berlin and those went a way after a year. I’m gone now. I don’t regret it. Life is so much stable in other places. Travel into Berlin, don’t live there
They do the all-inclusive stuff because it’s the cheapest option. They don’t experience a new culture, they just get drunk in other countries and tell their friends how many of them they visited. That’s NOT how you open your mind or discover yourself. That’s why these people are so narrow minded even if they travel a lot
Someone just tried to sue me for insults. Did you know an sms that says “fuckk you” equals 1200€ or 1.2 months jail time? FUCKk YOU. BERLIN. BERLIN IS A PRISON DO NOT ANMELDUNG ONLY VACATION
LOL, not sure if it's like that in Germany too but in Canada you van even be sued for defamation for statements that are factually true if you made them with the intent of causing emotional pain. I.E. if you call a convicted pedophile a a pedophile then it's illegal. I am pretty sure it is the dame here since all those dumb German murderers a few years ago sued Bild and won since their names were written in the story. Germany is probably the 2nd or 3rd biggest virtue signalling country on earth so of course speech is harshly restricted.
German legislators also want to pass laws that will compel social media companies to automatically file police reports for insults on their platforms. Until now they've "only" been forced to remove such comments within 24 hours (which as you will know has essentially broken twitter and facebook with so many comments being "unavailable" or simply not loading). Now they'll ALL go to the police. Imagine the trillions in extra revenue for Germany. Imagine the hundreds of thousands who will silently go to jail. When this law passes it's all down hill because there will be zero room for views that are at odds with anything the German government says (and amplifies via its countless state-owned media corps).
It’s not defamation in this case. I’m the op. It’s simply sms saying fornicate you, etc. Amounting to the tune of what this guy makes in 6/7 months. In the middle of corona he asks for this probable because he lost his job. Guess what idiot foreigners are not your slaves and aren’t capitalists that you can hate on. Focus on your own life and maybe get a better job you lazy crook german
It’s the op again and I’d just like to say the insults were just “fuck you, you’re an asshole” etc nothing specific or defamatory ... and just sms to him... he even made a CD of the voicemail I sent . Some Germans and their creepy little documenting and desire to punish people. It’s psycho
I just talked to the lawyer. OP here. The state is actually demanding this money. 8000€ or 8 mos or a warrant out for my arrest in all EU , because I insulted a German. This is completely insane. We will fight it and I’m about to abmeldung so they can’t do anything
Today I went to Bauhaus to get a few things for repairs. As it rained a little I used an umbrella whilst walking to the bit outside the store that was covered by a roof. Before I came to a complete stop and closed my umbrella some ugly pierced German yelled at me "MASKE!". When I asked why he just barked at me, he acted as if he just talked to me. NO, that son of a prostitute didn't talk to me, he yelled. I explained to him that it was unnecessary to yell, especially because I just got there and we weren't even inside. Well, I never seem to learn that you cannot explain simple things to Germans. His ugly pierced face had this freaking smile, happy that he yelled at someone. freaking pig.
There is something else behind it. I walked into a store and forgot to put mask on. Clerk acted AS IF I did it intentionally. Which I didn't. It is no issue to put it on (as for that). Another time I stood back about 2 meters in a checkout, in the beginning of this distancing stuff. But the person didn't even care. She just felt I was not doing anything because I was in fact 2 meters away (just not exactly on the line). She wanted that reaction. Sometimes it is pretence. That's why it felt off to assert myself to her. To put it with a different example. Let's say you bring down the trash and you keep the cellar door open because you wanna go another time. If somebody would get at you about the foor being open, you would say: I left it open Intentionally!. It can be confusing, they try to give blame with no legitibility.
What I mean is, that the thing about the mask in the above situation becomes secondary. Yôu would feel angry about his behaviour. While it could also be the case that it appeared to him like I wouldn't care at all (perception being off) which doesn't matter though. You wouldn't really go to him and say that you just forgot to put it on, that all makes his stuff big. It is rather that if (just saying) you would go to him and punch him, he would know what it was for. It is not easy to feel angry as one normally does when there is this confusion. I was contemplating whether he said it because I was clearly unintentional but I ruled it out. It is something else, nontheless very wrong.
On a sidenote, and I don't really recommend to punch while it does though really feel like it and wouldn't nec. be something bad when it is how one feels...feeling empathy sorts of comes after that so to speak. When you see he got issues, it doesn't matter so much anymore and one would rather feel sorry for him. I don't know how it exactly works but anger and light is very connected. For example the situation with the cellar door is rather something you would say lightly because it is just stupid. I left it open intentionally Sie Scherzkeks. The other one is immature, it only wasn't because one fed into it in ways one never meant to.
