Berlin's a dump. Not sure whether it's the people or the history that' s to blame.
Many people in Berlin drink to much, take too many drugs or are on anti-depressants. The truth is that the best drug you can take is: leaving Berlin. It brings joy, happiness and peace of mind...on a level you can never acheive living in that dump with its scummy residents.
Personally, I have met a fair share of friendly and generous Germans in Berlin. The thing is, they just can't make up for all the douchebags out there. It's a numbers game. But it's not individuals who are to blame. If you go to meetup, you will find lots of nice Germans offering hiking or language exchange events. And yes, they do speak English.
I'm over trying. Maybe there's some tiny percentage that is decent but the vast majority is not. I've done my best to make the best out of Berlin and continue to fail miserably. At this point I would have to be kind of insane to even be cautiously optimistic with Germans. Weird that I don't have problems elsewhere.
I've made lovely friends in Berlin. Not one of them is German. Spanish, French, Danish, American, Polish, Canadian, Australian, Mexican. Not a single German. I've made casual acquaintances with Germans that have been fine, but as soon as you actually get to know them and have any sort of relationship with them you see their true colours. Arrogant, judgemental and self serving and also permanent victims. I have four weeks left here, I will miss my friends when I leave, but I will not miss this city or this country. I will never return.
I'm on vacation for a week outside of Germany and the EU and my dreams of being away from Germans keep being shattered. I keep running into these savages all over the place. You can sense them by their dour faces and negative energy even before hearing their dumb accents or seeing their stupid Jack Wolfskin and Lowepro backpacks. They're constantly slamming doors, barking at each other like concentration camp guards and sniffing/blowing their noses. I hate Germans so much. I wish they'd stay in their own trash hole of a country or just all simultaneously drop dead. Have you ever seen a smiling German? Maybe when they're stoned out of their brains or drunk as hell, maybe if they're shrieking their stupid emotional political opinions to you or laughing at you for falling down or something. At least it has been refreshing to have people here who, after they bump into me, have apologized. Then I'll encounter some kraût MFer who can't seem to stand in line without leaning into me or touching me in some way like a cow herded into a small pen. And don't even get me started on this ugly, harsh language. It's like LARPing being stuck in Dachau.
Lets actually take a moment and look at that. Everybody kind of laughs when somebody trip or fall down, aside when sb is hurt. There is actually something good behind it. Because the reason to fall or stumble can be some kind of relief from something and it looks a bit funny. Now do they laugh because somebody feels bad? No, they are innocent, they assume the person would laugh about themselves, which is the whole original meaning of it in a way. And adults they can't laugh because they see it as something bad. While at the same time it is bad since they received the feedback then. But is it really? Because they only see it like that because they only see that, since the person who tripped anticipates it also being bad and therefore would seemingly feel bad but in actuality it doesn't feel bad when an innocent child laughs because something appeared funny. So is it about to not think of the other? And the answer is no, it's about to see why it is good. People also love to give blame, like you innocently might laugh and they see that as a reason to express their feelings they had by seeing such a bad thing thing then, you could say as a side-effect. You know they trip and are not on the easy side but not see that as something normal. Especially children might also laugh because of that. Like they were innocently laughing, then somebody gave them poop and then they laugh what seems like something bad maybe. I mean Idk, but the question is can you see that with empathy when somebody trips or would that actually be bad for someone. And yeah you could feel for how they feel when they not cool with it. At the same time we don't like to see it even such ways and it just natural then to laugh I feel. Long story, it is funny in the sense that they shud laugh about it themselves and a feeling is always innocent, you could even laugh from seeing it so seriously. But okay, maybe children laugh because they expect the other one to also laugh and adults just know they don't do that, so they can't really laugh, I mean it's not that they don't find it funny but the thing is a relationship thing. And yeah I think children or rather teenagers do such, they naturally feel to laugh and then feel relief from seeing it so seriously and then they might laugh and it really not mean any bad but they might think so. I mean they might kindly hold it back cause it might be misunderstood and we just we feel bad then even if we didn't intend it. So adults usually don't. But the thing is when something is funny and you just go with your feel (and I really mean funny, something good not some shitt where you try to not laugh and laugh because of that)
Had a Polish neighbor who was a real nuisance. He wouldn't stop smoking weed, and there was no way to prevent the smoke from getting into my flat. Especially nice when going to sleep, in the middle of the night or just waking up (coming through the closed door or a tilted window). Apparently, he sold grass to some of the people in the house, which made him very popular, and was said by a former roommate to receive stolen goods. Property management didn't give a fart, because he always paid his rent on time (all they seem to care about). Then, it suddenly stopped a couple months ago. Oh joy! No more of this poop. He was nowhere to be seen - even better! Strangely and alarmingly, it looked like his stuff was still there, but new people living in the place. Someone had witnessed the forcing open of the door by police officers. But when asked, the new guys (his mates) came up with a story of him having "family issues" in Poland (wink, wink, lol). They also said he's coming back soon. NOOOO! :-...(
Another neighbor, who knows him a bit, thinks he's probably dodging a fine by hiding his shady butt in Poland. This story is weird in every way. Just hoping he will stay away. Sad to think of this as being an actual concern. In Berlin, standards are so low that you must alrady be grateful for not having some scruffy, redundant neighbor turning the house into a filthy, run-down headshop.
Berlin attracts the lowest of the low like flies and roaches to dank garbage. It's truly a city/country of rejects and idiots. How else can you explain having to go through 3 years of training to work in a shop or in a restaurant? And to then still be terrible at your job!! :-D That alone is all the proof I need that the average German is mentally challenged.
What am I on about? I'm on about a city of extremely dumb people who accept a very low standard of living in exchange for the guarantee that they'll never have to in any way fend for themselves. Which is fine if you have an IQ below 80 but not fine if you're not dumber than 90% of a normal population outside of Germany.
I'm out of Germany, and still have to do some personal business with a bank there on the phone, OMG, even just hearing their voices gives me the creeps, and on top of that the user-unfriendly systems they have. Their banking system is like being in a Kafka novel. They go out of their way to sound overly 'efficient', but show no empathy whatsoever. I'm never sure if I should despise them or pity them
It's because German companies are top heavy with SOPs for some routine scenarios but nothing to cover anything outside of common cases. Then you couple that with fleets of low-level workers with no authority to do anything and extreme fear of their bosses and nothing gets done.
Haha, you nailed it! Once tried to open an account. Didn't work because sth. happened that wasn't provided. Sent the application form and the proof of identity in two separate envelopes (should have been one). They never found a way to work around it, although they said they'd sort it out on the phone and via e-mail. Would have had to send them the papers again, but couldn't be bothered. Like wtf...if they can't even deal with that, that's a heads-up for more monkey business.
true story: i am doing my psycho therapy after working with a narcissistic German chef and having a "thing" with a damaged German for far too long.
my fault, i know :(
'my fault, i know :('
You're human and we all make mistakes. I'm wondering how long it's going to take me to recover from being here. physically and financially it shouldn't take too long but I hope this fked up depression won't follow me or hang around.
After leaving Berlin and Germany:
- I have rediscovered life
- Stopped drinking
- found inner calm.
Berlin and Germany are very bad for the soul (as it is a soulless, nasty and gormless country and place with a disgusting vibe) and will lead to mental health evaporation and substance abuse if you stay too long...thats for sure.
Everyone talks about leaving this city being the best thing ever. How do you do it? If you just go to any old where, there's a chance of you ending up in a place that's not even better. Do you make elaborate escape plans before you leave? This "just leave and things will be alright" just sounds too good to be true.
Hum...lots of places in Europe turning into shiteholes. Spain, Italy, Greece...nice but declining economy. France? Yellow jackets and other problems. UK? Brexit. Sweden? Being taken over by muslims and SJWs. Eastern Europe? Well...maybe some tiny parts. But seriously, who'd leave in good spirits with prospects like these? If you have some recommendations, please share.
IThat person is probably a jobless German troll, with nothing better to do and who has the typical German authority complex. Thats the thing with Germans: they are always trying to get one up over you.... this person cannot handle that everyone sane and smart thinks Berlin is a sh*hole.....
Surely there are many sh*tholes out there, but only Berlin hosts so many Germans. Germany is phucked up altogether due to German mentality. I never seen such people in my life, incapable of forming meaningful social or romantic relationships, just robots. Germany suck.
This place feels like a vortex of hopelessness and nihilism. Not always, but often enough to make one miserable and overall depleted. The bad news: the longer you stay, the worse it becomes. Wonder how to keep enough energy to move on and start over.

Left Germany . What an amazing experience.... People in other countries have manners, don't stare at you , don't run into you on purpose are NORMAL! I sometimes think that people on Berlinhater who refuse to leave Berlin have accepted that dysfunctional dump as normal. It's not just Berlin, it's the whole of Germany. Germans are horrific people: aggressive, rude, controlling and miserable. Soulless twats. Since I left I have had zero aggravation, a Stark contrast to living in Germany where it was daily and constant. SO GLAD I LEFT! YOU SHOULD DO THE SAME!
I literally have a handmade calendar stuck on my wall crossing off the days till I leave this godforsaken, idiot of a city and country. I will NEVER set foot in Germany again once I leave. This is the worst, most dysfunctional excuse for a city I have ever lived in. Full of, as you say, soulless, ignorant twats. Every one of them.
< People in other countries have manners, don't stare at you , don't run into you on purpose are NORMAL!>
Seriously wtf is wrong with these people? I really want to understand before I leave why they are staring all the time? What are they looking at? What do they want? Perhaps they are looking longingly at us because they know we aren't from here and we don't have to stay here and they wish they didn't either. ;)
"I’m going knock one of these ignorant bastards out. That’s a promise!!!"
They are not worth an assault charge....which will prevent you leaving Germany (the goal) just do what I did: when they start with their poop and stupidity and being rude to you, just say "I do not give a f*** about your opinion I am leaving this sh*thole of a city soon anyway so good luck in here" -- thats what I did and I could see they could not compute it but also realized that they had no power over the situation...they are all power hungry losers in Germany -- thats the crux of it.
" I really want to understand before I leave why they are staring all the time? What are they looking at? What do they want? Perhaps they are looking longingly at us because they know we aren't from here and we don't have to stay here and they wish they didn't either. ;)" -
Don't waste your time on that. They are inherently racist and stupid and power hungry -- thats all there is too it... nothing deeper to discover with those German retards.
"I’m going knock one of these ignorant bastards out. That’s a promise!!!"
As tempting as it is, I wouldn't Believe me, I've had moments where I wanted to knock them into next week. The other guy is right, it's not worth getting into trouble and having charges laid against you. I think the best form of revenge in your case is happiness. You can turn things around and be happy, whereas the miserable b###### that you encountered likely won't.
I see a German is starting to post again.... Listen you LOSER: Berlin is full of morons and losers and has the rudest and dumbest population there is , go get a real job and stop trolling us normal people who see Germans and Beeliners for what they truly are: f*** losers. On that note: life is really getting better since leaving Germany... Germany is an absolute sh**" hole.
I've been out of Germany for a week, in one of the biggest and most diverse cities on earth. People here are extremely friendly, know how to apologize and accept blame, I haven't smelled a single Berlin-style homeless person, haven't seen any men pissing in public. Food here is about a million times better (and accordingly more expensive but worth it), restaurants are more hygienic. Feels like Berlin-style rude people are maybe 5-10% of the populatiob. In Berlin they're like 90%. It's nice to be able to have a POSITIVE encounter with a stranger as that happened to me only twice in Berlin ever.
LEFT GERMANY YESTERDAY. BEST DECISION EVER.
Once you leave you realize even more what a vile country Germany is and how horrible it's people are.
Don't moan. Just leave. It's the best thing you can do in your life.
"I hope your feeling better. " - DEFINITELY! I feel awesome.
"I leave this place on Saturday morning and then leave Germany altogether on Wednesday evening." - EXCELLENT. -good that you are smart enough to leave Germany altogether. The entire country sucks, not just Berlin.
"I can't tell you how happy I am to be getting out." - I know exactly how happy you are. Trust me.
Left Germany today. All I can say is: LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Once you do you will learn to breathe again and what normal people are like. Don't get stuck in that miserable trap, because that's all it is: a trap. Germans always lecture you, are rude, have no manners and are power hungry idiots oblivious to the fact that their country is a sh* hole. Escape before you get sucked in to that sh***
Has anyone just *left* their job and disappeared back to their home country?
