...
I got an anxiety disorder. I cannot sleep, my eating habits are completely sh!t. I am lethargic... I was happy, open and quite self confident before Berlin. This whole experience turned me upside down.
It’s the most depressing place I have ever experienced, and I think I need professional help to overcome the damage now.
2020 is the year I plot my exit. Fingers crossed!
I agree, it's like another plane in Poland, very friendly and courteous and great food. By the way, also much cheaper. For the original post here, try ReleaseEffect.com it saved my sanity.
Even other cities in Germany would be better than Berlin.Even "many normal Germans"can not stand this city anymore and move to other cities.Berlin is insane itself already and these sick minded people from all around Europe and other continents moved to Berlin and are making this city even crazier.I can't wait to get out of here ...not so long..
After spending 3 years in Berlin one thing made me feel really good is I am glad that I was not born in BERLIN AND NOT A GERMAN BERLINER.While the economy is very good compare to many poor country and having a good social welfare system people are just sick.Always complaining,0 torelance and emphasy.Having problem to have healthy relationship and be mature parents.
Why people think Germany is a wealthy country is beyond me. Taxes are high, salaries aren't that great and if a German family lives in a house, they usually share it with another family (that lives on another floor, of course).
By the way, why is social welfare a bonus? People should move to another country to WORK, not to live off social benefits.
What’s up with all the trashy people in this country? You know the type, “music” blasting from a JBL, cheap-ass Fred Durst looking motherfuckers and their filthy half-naked underage girlfriends. My husband and I have the misfortune of living in a small town between Berlin and Leipzig and these scumbags seem to be the only people we see on the streets. AND recently one of those moved into the apartment directly below ours and is blasting his techno 24/7 so loud that everything in the house is shaking. Tried communicating with him one night when he was going ape-ship at a drug-fueled party at 3am, but, of course, that animal was barely able to speak German, let alone English, and our little intervention only made him turn the volume up. I can’t stand those imbeciles anymore, thankfully our studies are soon over and we are gonna be OUT OF HERE. I can safely say that, I my experience, in no other country is this toxicity as prevalent as in Germany.
These people feel safe here in their poop country. They do and say things that would get you slapped across the face in another country. Don’t get angry with these retards in this place. I don’t respect these people or care about their country. I’m too the point now if a German ask me if I like living here I just say no. I don’t care if I offend them I just wanna leave before I hurt one of them. No joke. I hope their whole economic system crashes. These people and the weird foreigners who also live here deserved each other. If your retard neighbors continue with their loud music then just call the police. But I doubt the police would do anything...they too are useless motherfuckers.
I also can not stand these people.They belive Techno makes them superior than others.And all other music is trash and too capitalistic or too common compare they are unique and know what is art.Thier face "Oh I am enjoying this music".....I dont think the role of music is suppoesed to be making people rude and aggresive.And Hiphop...Yes of course Germany is not a paradise but compare to USA or Asia or Afrika people have so much more chances to go to Uni,having not a miserable life even though you have no job.Kindergeld etc.Not real soul for Hiphop just mocking the cliches "Oh this society and our anger"Made me laugh all the time.
My neighbours did this two years! I had to sleep bathroom! Ducking lame! Every weekend same ten people wasted at home when we lived near berghain! Idiots ! So redundant these people. I fled in corona. If I ever see a German outside of Germany I will tell him to speak English and go home and kick in balls! Who is programming them to all say the same poop do they have a chip planted in their head? Idiots!!!
Oh yeah you can try ordundsamt in daytime hours or call police later . Police would stop multiple times but guess what these idiot just kept going every weekend! And i talked to landlord did nothing. Bunch of inbreds. I would never fornicate someone same nationality as me. It’s gross. Idiots
I left Berlin a few years ago (I lived there for 4 years) and now I live in the Scotland and although the social justice warrior feminist lefty degenerate mentality is big here as well, it will never be as dangerous as in Berlin. People here are nice, kind, friendly and have manners. Everytime I see a German tourist I run away. Escape people, let those cunts rot in hell
They are already rotting in hell, Berlin.
The social justice warrior feminist lefty degenerate mentality is about to get blown out, by Brexit, Boris, Trump and Morrison in Australia. If some communist country takes them in, lets see how long the morons last :o))
Can someone who has lived elsewhere in Germany advise if it is better or is it really just German culture to be rotten to the core?? If you can, please elaborate as I'm trying to figure out where I should go next...
Thanks a lot!! :)
Hi there. Yes, I lived in Leipzig for most of my time here and also spent some time in Dusseldorf and Wiesbaden. These places seem a bit nicer however I can't help but think it's a cultural thing. It's almost as if there is something missing in these people (not all, but I'd say a majority).
People like confrontation. They like to put their to put their foot down when they think you're messing with their precious sense of ordnung. Went to the park to enjoy a nice sunny day. There was a little lake surrounded by a wooden fence with a door. As the door was unlocked, I went to the other side of the fence. Suddenly, there was a reproachful voice asking "what the fence is for". Some random middle-aged guy thought it was a good idea speak a machtwort to let me know that what I was doing was unacceptable. Ignored him at first, but he insisted. I replied, in my most condescending voice, that there was an open door in the fence and turned my back on him. He left. A clear statement shuts them up.
In smaller cities Germans seem to be a little less blunt and outright rude but they're still completely German. And by that I mean the following: uncouth, standoffish, know-it-alls, obsessed with nudity, aloof, overcompensating for inferiority complexes. Berlin truly seems to be the worst bunch of them but they're all a far cry from anything decent. Ever notice how the only Germans you ever see conversing casually about anything are drunk? It's because they all have serious social disorders.
People in Munich is nicer. It is more difficult here to makes friends too in Munich. Things are more expensive. The city is boring. But people are more normal : hold jobs, responsible, they even feel a shame if they have to depends on government money (H4), people wants to be in relationship and have a family. It just the city is really really boring. Everyone go to Marienplatz/Stachus, people do like to showoffs and they dress nicer.
Germany has really proven me wrong. Scum really do congregate under one roof. I've been living here for long enough that it has had deep psychological impact(Anxiety/Depression). Finding a job is hard, even if you have the skills they won't hire you because you are not like them, Having a relationship is traumatic. German women monkey branch right in front of your eyes. There is no sense of SHAME in this country. no shame in treating others badly. No SHAME in hurting others feelings. Since I moved here. I've been homeless for a period of time, jobless, hurt by relationships I thought were serious but turned out to just be a typical German relationship(Self centered). And in alot of mental distress. I now suffer from severe social anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. Everytime I meet an AUSLAENDER they are kind understanding and have manners, unlike the Germans who have and EQ of -2. I've never felt more alone in the world. apart from not having family. I notice that Germans will never support you even as friends and especially when you are down. I think in Germany the saying is "Beat a dog when it's down". I've been taunted, ridiculed and the atmosphere in any shop, bank or otherwise is that they are doing you a favour by helping you. They are vile people. a Vile race. Every German I meet is elitist, they are entitled and expect you to thank them just for their existence. I hired a few Germans in my business before, never will I do that again. Lazy, incompitent and entitled.(Yes I went from homelessness to a business owner. By working schwarz. The government institutions made fun of me instead of helping me). My landlord is a passive aggressive pice of poop riddled with mental issues. For how many mentally ill there are it startles me that many do not understand self reflection. They are aggressive and hostile. Wherever they can drag you down they will.
Health insurance and social payments are through the roof. Taxes are crazy high. Yet I see no benefits to these taxes as countries with lower taxes also have nationalized healthcare(Italy). I have been living without health insurance coverage since I'm here. As a self employed I'd be on the street eating twigs if I had to. Which means I can get no help for my deteriorating mental health as I go into a suicidal state except for paying out of my pocket for which I don't have the money, as work is getting harder and harder to do I'm loosing clients. The system here squeezes you out. The difference with Germans is how they handle stress. They are a weak people. Stress pulls them down, in return they pull others down and it becomes a cycle which gets worse over time. I often get Germans telling me that it's human that cashiers and tellers can be angry and sad, but they always are. By making a customers day bad they arent going to make it any better for themselves knowing they went home and made 3 people sad and angry today. I've worked in service positions. and I have to say. Even though deemed fake here, smiling and making a customers day can boost your own happiness. They are just lazy and guize it under "efficiency" if anything they are efficient at being innefficient. Efficiency, is being on time, which they are never. Efficiency is creating customer happiness and getting their requests done within a dedicated time frame whilst offering the best of services. They are so lazy that they cant even be nice while being "efficient" because being nice takes energy. They are dumb. Somehow they think in the opposite way. I once had a business partner who was German. He said we should go squander money and have a party before opening our business. doesn't it work the other way round? How will we have initial capital if we go to "Ibiza" first? Shouldnt we have a party after we rach a milestone in our business? Another business partner was so entitled she expected me to take on her own tasks. Needless to say and German business partner I've had. They've been lazy. So lazy that they can't even file finanzamt papers in on time(2 month leeway). I've never seen more vile people that speed up when you cross the road. Never move or say excuseme when they bump into you. Servers who are lazy and garbage at their job. Supermarkets that don't take credit cards in tourist hotspost but do in the shitholes of berlin. Buses that don't stop. Bus drivers that shut doors on old people, hitting them. This place is hostile. Then they go on to call Africans thugs, Asians smelly and Arabs stealers. but they themselves went and enslaved Africa and stole their resources. All that they own is stolen out of coloniolization. Additionally they are ignorant. They don't know basic things about the world. Ettiquete ofcourse being a major player. But holy crap. Fornicate this place! I need to leave.
Everything you say is true. I am German myself but got lucky when I was younger to build friendships with people from all over the world. I helped me not to develop that nasty German mentality. Every time I arrive in Germany from another country I am appalled by their behaviour.
freaking Andy's Diner and Bar - who shouts at a customer and demands a bloody tip after you treat someone with absolute disgust the whole time you're serving them. Tips are never mandatory - they're a bloody perk of the job. No one should ever expect a tip and when they do actually get a bloody tip, they should act surprised and thank the person. If you're not given a bloody tip just get on with your life and stop being such an asshole.
Rant over...
Just back in Oz mate, and feel like I'm on another planet, people are courteous, except for a few w0gs, but otherwise all is good, "thank you" and "please" are very common here, and tips are never expected. Fk Berlin, don't think it will ever get better and if you have a relationship with a German, dump them right now and leave, trust me, it never gets better, only worse, and eventually to survive emotionally, you start becoming like them. Go now, just pack your bags and go.
I decided to return to Oz after nearly a year here. I understand what you guys are saying. The frustration that one endures trying to get set up and dealing with grumpy locals can seem pretty overwhelming. I had started to behave like them after a certain point and I knew then that enough was enough.
Foolishly spent Christmas and New Year here in Berlin with family. I can honestly say that I will never be back. I've spent the week holding the door for many a local (as is good manors) but no word of thanks or even eye contact. I can't tell you how many times I've had to say the sarcastic "YOU ARE WELCOME! ENJOY YOUR DAY"! For anyone akin to good customer service, and common decency, please don't go near Berlin. Locals are as scummy as the streets.
Actually Xmas Eve Night and Xmas Day in Berlin were my favourite days of the year, because you didn't see any Germans on the street. In all the years I lived there, not one German ever invited me for Xmas. I didn't want to go, and would have declined the offer with gratitude, but they never invited me. They are social retards.
The hardest thing in this city is deal with dysfunctional, weak minded people that have no empathy.
Being left to deal with people that have too fragile egos to apologise, admit mistakes and do everything possible to gaslight you and guilt trip you for their own rotten behaviour.
We should all feel pity rather than hate for these lost souls.
Must be really miserable to be a German or someone who absorbed this mentality.
'The hardest thing in this city is deal with dysfunctional, weak minded people that have no empathy.'
I'm hearing you loud and clear. This was the killer for me, along with incompetent bureaucrats. Of course these weren't the only reasons that I fled this pisspit.
I left Berlin 2 months ago and went traveling for an indefinite time, no intention/need to ever return to that city, still I am occasionally coming back to this website. What's wrong with me? Do I have some dorm of ptsd or why am I doing this to myself?
At OP,
I left in October as I was totally done with Germany and Germans, but especially . I will probably never go back and have no reason too but I often find myself on here as I want to help others who have endured the same BS that we did. To those who are struggling here, know that you are not alone.
I can't go for a walk in my neighborhood without being hassled by men or boys. Has happened numerous times now. I don't feel safe unless I have my boyfriend with me but when he's away I'm so nervous to do anything. Of course it's not every time I go out, but more often in Berlin than anywhere else in my 35 years of life. I ignore them and keep walking but it's happened enough that now I get nervous leaving my flat, in fact, I'm nervous even in my flat if I'm alone. This city has destroyed my confidence and instilled so much fear in to me. Sad.
I am not a concasian look woman.And poeple here include German and Turkish or all the men the are so cowards to attack a woman when she is alone ans not White Blond German looks.I am sorry to hear that...But change the area where you live would be helpful a bit.
I think that is the worst part, they are brainwashed to see compliments as harassment. I don't trust any women these days, they have all been surreptitiously corrupted by Feminism, to the point that their brains are like mush. I've never been happier since going MGTOW.
MGTOW is the best, never been happier, I love it. I'll leave Feminists with their dild0s, because all men are just rapists and women bashers, or at least that is what they try to brainwash us into believing. Unfortunately, un-brainwashed women are few and far between, and are snapped up very quickly. So good to be free from commitment and having to listen to whining oppression talk about how bad women have it, when in reality they are the most privileged class that ever lived in the whole of history, they're losers, because they can't even enjoy their advantages.
I'd have a committed relationship with Karen Straughan, Cassie Jaye, Janet Fiamengo or Lauren Southern any day, because they've taken the anti-feminist red pill and now appreciate all the good things in their lives, instead of moaning about imagined oppressions. As I said, enjoy your dild0s. I'm free from Feminist-Freaks and loving my life again.
MGTOW losers, you are EXACTLY like the feminists you hate, whiney beta males that pretend they need no woman because NO woman wants them LMFAO
Pathetic, none of the women you mention would even look at you, insecure fools
Those women are with ALPHAS, you are not even beta, Omega losers
Enjoy your inflatable dolls xD
Oh so this is about being "truly conservative" LOL
You are life losers, not fit to adapt to changing times without having your fragile egos smashed, this is pathetich.
The world is and will always be survival of the fittest, and now that someone that has nothing to offer like you has no longer the guarantee of a personal incubator and mummy what do you do? Whine, of course LMFAO
You are NOT men, don't insult the category including yourselves, you are disgraceful
I’m on the U8 right now. That’s all.
I went back home for the holidays and it hit me...People do not nornally approach trash cans with portable torches in a "scavenger hunt" quest, they just throw things away...can you imagine that?
I wonder if admin made it out of this hell hole alive.
yes I did, mostly... my daughter is still there but I take every opportunity to show her the rest of the world and how odd Berliners are in comparison.
Thanks and happy holidays
What is with people leaving their smelly pair of trainers ( often 2/3 pairs) outside their apartment?
