Life as a women is filled with stress here. Today I went to the supermarket. Didn’t wear any makeup and even wore my glasses as I couldn’t be bothered to wear contact lenses. In one row there were three old men standing (obviously not German, possibly Turkish). They immediately turned their heads, started grinning at me, staring at me like a peace of meat. And I wasn’t even dressed up, WTF? What is going on in this city.
Every German man above the age of 40 looks like this guy.

Living in Berlin or having lived in Berlin makes you special indeed, but in another way.
Be careful to change to daylight saving time. The Germans are mentally depletes, so now they will be especially stupid.
A year ago I moved to Berlin and because I could not afford to buy a car, so I bought a bike. In Berlin you are literally afraid of life on the road! On my bike I prefer to switch on the light even in the daytime and I wear a reflective vest even when it is sunny. At every crossroads I will stop and I prefer to walk before I risk. I've had my bike in Berlin for 8 accidents, and it wasn't my fault once and every time I had to listen to someone's nasty swearing and insults, even though it wasn't my fault! Today I decided to stop riding my bike because I would like to stay alive! I was very fond of riding a bike at home in southern France. Berlin is very ill with a very hostile city. Even after a year of life in Berlin I know no Germans at all, even though I live in a house where I am the only stranger! The Germans are very hostile, and if you want to make contact with them anywhere, the Germans think you'll want something from them. Berlin is a nasty stinking hole, full of mentally disturbed idiots! Someone should write some article about the fact that Berlin is a long time ago not a wonderful place for young people and artists. Tell your kids not to go to Berlin. There are many beautiful to have in Europe, but Berlin is the last where you want to end up! (French, 28 years old)
Yes hun - you would have been better off in France. French people (indeed all europeans) are much better than Germans with much better manners. Germans are rude, racist , cold and hostile and they have been selling the LIE that Berlin is artist haven for WAY too long... its poop -.... NOTHING is going on in the arts in Berlin because nothing gets funded.... its just all one big con job .... go back to France .... you will be much better off.
"actors and filmmakers or how do you think those industries work you idiot?"
Serial contrarian is back again. Go f u c k yourself you ugly autist. Germany has the best funded propaganda machine (Rundfunkbeitrag) in the history of the entire world and still produces nothing but steamy piles.
"actors and filmmakers or how do you think those industries work you idiot?" They write good scripts and sell them to production companies, who then produce them if the are any good, unlike government funded movies for any pathetic piece of rubbish, you pathetically stupid left wing leech on people's taxes, go and smoke some more weed in your smelly squat and think up some lame-brain movie story about Berlin drug-users and alcoholics that no one actually cares about.
I really wish there were fewer government subsidies for actors and film makers. Then perhaps no one outside of a few angsty adult-baby Germans would know who Til Schweiger, Matthias Schweighöfer and that loser from Fack Ju Göthe are. Their films should all have gone directly into the garbage can.
I hate beeliners on all modes of transportation. Bicyclist are a-holes who attack pedestrians. Car drivers are the more dangerous a-holes.
It's not safe even as a pedestrian.
Just gotta be extra vigilant and always expect the wrost rude behaviour from everyone especially car drivers.
Do you want to feel truly alone and lost? Go to some of Berlin's clubs! If you are a foreigner, speak another dialect or speak English, the Germans will treat you contemptuously. Enjoy the weekend alone somewhere in a club full of people. The Germans won't have fun with you! This is Berlin!
Left that craphole Germany 2 Months ago - I highly recommend you all to do the same - Europe has alot of other countries where people are normal and not so racist miserable, strenuous and have manners...nevermind that Germans are f - ing idiots. Get out by whatever means you can.... you will not regret it.
Czech Republic. The people here are MUCH better. I am making it a point to AVOID GERMANY at all costs moving forward... I do not even want to visit it again. Its an absolute idiot with disgusting miserable, inept, racist cunts and really a horrible country.
I just want to share a bit of inspiration. I was buying some things and the woman scanning was quite commanding and controlling, really meh atmosphere, also because everyone gave her credit. She asked for the customer card like it was a police control and people before me acted nonchalant, it felt like they're not honestly behaving about it. So I was thinking how absurd it was to be in such a movie also because I never tend to care about that. It turned out I was actually afraid to act out something rebellious and it strangely gave her power cause I struggled thinking about how to behave and why I even struggle. Then, later I realized there is a good amount of humour in the situation already which resolved everything. I looked at her as somebody working in a supermarket who thinks would be working for the police and it made such a funny picture in relation to the tension, where I probably had to try hard not to laugh and kindly hold back. So yeah that's a bit of light in this dark place, it depends what you see, and often it is already there :)
When you leave Germany, you are just leaving the Islamic country ..
To all you morons out there with a Facebook account:
Be under no illusion that Facebook - and Zuckerberg - don't have political motivations. Referring to the open mic incident recently where Mark and German leader Angela Merkel were speaking.
After Merkel asked Mr. Zuckerberg about offensive posts on the refugee crisis, the Facebook CEO said “we need to do some work” on the issue.
“Are you working on this?” Ms. Merkel asked in English.
“Yeah,” Mr. Zuckerberg reportedly responded, before the transmission was disrupted.
Be afraid, people, be very afraid.
Going to commit suicide tonight. Angry, depressed, lonely, no sex, no love, no connections, absolutely isolated, no single friend. fornicate you berlin. Really, just fornicate you.
I've felt the same for a while now. Berlin does that to you. And the sad part is knowing that there have been countless souls who have felt the same before you. And the media will never talk about it here. In the rare event that they do mention suicide (like if some guy sets himself on fire in front of an embassy), they follow it with this wording:
"Anmerkung der Redaktion: Wir berichten in der Regel nicht über Suizide oder Suizidversuche, außer sie erfahren durch die Umstände besondere Aufmerksamkeit.

Great German society that cares enough about suicide to pretend it doesn't exist.
Dear friend, just pack your bag and go back to your home country which I think will make you happier. Germany is a very antisocial place in geberal. Germans are cold, distant, incapable of making human connections. No wonder you have no friends, I have 0 friends too. This country is a cr*p alltogether. Just leave, why should you die for this cr!!ppy place?
Hi there! Wanna talk? Still feeling that way? 9203pete@gmail.com (if you wanna chat on hangouts or something)
Wow. Just back from London where I felt great, happy and connected....not even 12 hours later I feel a bit down. And I do have friends here, a good job enviroment..... It's the atmosphere, something you can't put your Finger on but feel. The energy.... Berlin suck!!!! I always thought there is something wrong with me. But it's not. Maybe Berlin? Maybe Germany? Defenitly not worth throwing away my Life. Went to London with almost nothing. Within one week: Made friends, found job, place to stay.... There is a way out. Beeing opened, willing and honest may help. I will leave Berlin as soon as possible.
All the best for you. May you be happy, may you be at ease, may you be guided. God bless. Love and Peace.
@OP You may have not entered the major depression phase yet, anyway, you have to take care of your brain as soon as possible! Forget contemplating the situation you are in and focus really on getting your serotonin level back on track - it is possible with SSRI, it takes a couple of weeks though, until than do sports every single day, that will help against depression as well. And when you feel better, leave and start somewhere else new. Good luck and don't let this city get you down !
I don’t know if you are job joking or are serious but don’t do it!!!!! This place is shit, the people retarded as fuck!!! We all know something is wrong with this place and the people. Don’t let these evil serpents put you into such dire thoughts. Cheat, backstab, lie or whatever you have to do to get out of here. You take something from them!!!!!!!! Don’t let them them take your life too. All they will do is laugh at you afterwards even in death. Don’t give these motherfuckers the pleasure of knowing you took your own life because of this hell pit. I swear on my life Germans make me sick to my freaking stomach.
After 3 weeks from your suicide, your german neighbours will make a complaint once your decomposed corpse start to stink.
Your decomposed corpse will be picked up by disgruntled berliners paid minimum wage. Your corpse will lay in a nasty morgue and later burned.
Your body will be treated even worse when you are dead.
Think about your mother seeing your corpse being mishandled by cheap overworked german labor.

I don't think Germans will treat a dead body with respect and dignity. These people are not human, believe me. They lack even the most common cultural social norm - which happens to be take care of dead bodies of your community and give them a proper funeral. They'll just throw the body to the dumpstore.
A few pages back someone complained about how the police will post unedited pictures of dead bodies to be identified. I know in my home country that when an unidentified corpse is found they have a police artist sketch the portrait and would NEVER publish pictures of a dead body in newspapers or on television.
Also don't forget historical gems like this:
www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/skandal-fotos-aus-afghanistan-bundeswehr-trennt-sich-von-zwei-totenschaendern-a-445032.html
You are absolutely right. Being respectful with the dead requires actual human emotions which are sadly lacking in this country. The only emotion in this country is anger.
It's largely Berlin but also big cities in general. People who move to big cities are transient and have little desire to make true friends, so they just have acquaintances if even that. The locals already made their friends years ago and have no time in their lives for more and they just see you as a transient outsider who will likely move away anyway. Berlin has a lot of additional negatives that make it harder to justify putting up with that compared to other major European cities. Germans are also notoriously difficult to deal with socially. A survey recently found 2/3 of Germans surveyed felt lonely, around 17% severely so. It's just a problem through the country and culture. They also made a mistake being too lax on very poor immigrants who have their own racist, homophobic, religious fundamentalist beliefs and are living in a parallel society and hate others not like them. I feel bad for anyone who is Jewish living there right now. I hate the far right but this is such an obvious issue that those denying it are just going to turn people off since they know they are full of sh1t. A lot of these poor immigrants and MENA people as a whole have a lot in common with far right people in how much they hate others not like them as well as their extreme sexism, homophobia, and anti-semitism!
"An armed society is a polite society."
I guess that explains Berlin and Germany.
No not good, there would be a whole lot more shootings in the work place here if guns were allowed, trust me.
Crap sex with lumps of lard called German women.
It's really not that difficult. This website has an average of 5 unique visitors per day. Exactly one of those constantly posts anti-American nonsequiturs from the same ISP with a German keyboard layout. In other words: You're not fooling anyone, Stefan.
German women are like a fine looking sports car from the outside. Inside, well that’s a different story isn’t it? Fake, fickle, bad characters, no humor, rigid, and rude.
I live in this city and I hate it.
That's why I am on this site. I hate r/berlin because it's full of berlin lovers.
I am a woman from the south U.S.
There are many things and people to hate about Berlin. But, most of the women here are not fat compared to U.S. and even UK.
