...
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.

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.

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?
Left Berlin today and in less than 2 hours had over 20 annoying interactions with Germans. Man. Thank f*** I am outta there. Germans are impossible to live with and SO F**"* ANNOYING ( and stupid)
I'm dreading having to come back for a few days to finalize some things. Thought of wading through hordes of Muslims, losers, Feminists, tattooed and pierced freaks, drunks piissing and shiiting on the streets, beggars, nasty Germans and a plague of tourists makes me feel dizzy, and that's just the thought of it.
Everytime i arrive back to Belrin I feel the grey sky coming down on me, the stench, the hopelessness, the aggressiveness of teh middle easterners, the boredom of thusands of spatis and doner shops, AntiFa morons, brainwashed Marxists who say they hate capitalism but live of the purse of capitlist tax-payers. The broken look in people's faces, the inerns leaving with their tails between their legs and tears in their eyes, the parade of hear-broken single mothers, carrying brown children in their arms, while they coast the street corners looking for the drug-dealing fathers of their children.
Everyone reading that you have left will be green with envy.
Best wishes for a fresh start. Don't go to student cities, they are too easily brainwashed into crazy Leftist cults when they are away from their families and real friends.
They should have left this place in poop after WW2. As a tourist you don’t notice but it feels like these people are dammed for all those murders committed in the war. That kind of poop you can’t wash away in 75 years. Every time I see the grey ski in the winter months I wonder if this place is cursed. And we were fools to fall for this nice marketing campaign and come here. These people are rotten deep down and I wonder what could cause them to be so unkind. When I leave this place I won’t speak on this poop hole anymore. Germany can rot in poop all I care.

I wondered the same thing if Berlin is cursed by the war and I agree on all your points. Germans in general and Berliners are rotten to the core - you are totally right there. Shame on all the companies that try to lure expats there!
So, I found a job and an apartment. Now a month in waiting for the circle jerk of ausländerbehörde, Arbeitsamt and stuff to answer. It's truly a wonder anything actually gets done in this depressing land. "Oh, yes thats a visa debit card, we, in the first world use it to pay" also, see photo of the first world, where offices are open at regular hours. I used to thi k Michigan was crappy. I guess I am thankful to realize home wasn't so bad. Moving back ASAP.
Hey. Haha, Michigan sounds pretty normal compared to this place. I'm hearing you loud and clear and have experienced the same sh*t. So far it's taken months to get to where I am with the Auslanderbehorde, and I still have no work/residency permit. Each step I've been put through seems drawn out and unnecessary. I too will be heading back to my country soon. All the stuff that ought to be straightforward seems quite difficult here ie. getting SIM card, getting appointments, having ordinary conversations with strangers etc.
I don't know what is in the water but whatever it is makes it taste like poop. Seriously, the water here is like sewage. It tastes like rubbish, its ruined my hair and skin and made me spend a fortune on just staying hydrated.
Also, these people aren't just stupid they are soulless, inhuman, personality-free, empathyless, unfeeling, uncreative, pigheaded, arrogant, racist, self-satisfied, self-aggrandising, backward idiots.
5 weeks till I'm out of this city and country FOREVER.
You guys complaining, I love you so much. You have a great sense of humor and even though I am miserable now I feel pretty amused reading your posts.
"Established" Berliners don't even leave a space for you. They can afford to be impolite while you can't. You're not established and they don't let you in.
There is a skate park here named 'Dog poop Spot'. Seems appropriate.
November 7th! Officially my last day in this godforsaken city. I cannot wait. For anyone who is here, suffering, trying to wait till it gets better and thinking it is their own fault ,or something lacking in them, I tell you it is NOT. It is this city and this country and it awful occupants. Find a way out, whatever you have to do. The day you decide to leave you will be able to walk through this filthy, miserable hole with a smile on your face, which will make you different from 99.9 percent of the other people here knowing that soon you are gone. I urge you do it now.
I am leaving tomorrow! There was an option to stick it out one more month but after all the hassle I had in this degraded sh*T hole of a country in 2 Months (I decided to cut my losses and make a run for it). Congratulations to yo for also getting out. To be honest, seeing as Germany is entering a recession..I think there will be many more expats getting the hell out of here. HELL - is truly what Berlin and this country is: NEVER AGAIN!!!
Check out these wonderful anti-feminist women. Berlin is full of pseudo-Feminists, who are selfish and sexist.

Prof Christina Hoff Sommers - www.youtube.com/watch
We are always hearing about macho apes, but very little about misandrist Feminists and their mentally ill sexism. Christina Hoff Sommers does not consider herself a thrid wave Feminist, and many peole say she says she is a Feminist just to piiisss the pseudo feministsts off. One she defintely is not, is a victim-Feminist, she recognizes her privileges as a woman, and doesn't need any safe spaces from people challenging her.
