...
I left 2 years ago. Imagine how it would be to grow up in Berlin under the influence of Ritalin from the age eight to sixteen...
True. The 'jewish'(zionistic describes it better) school and Dr. Buchmann(dr-buchmann-kinder-und-jugendpsychiatrie.de/team.html) they forced my mother(who at that time didn't speak that well German) to give it to me over a period of 8 years. They persuaded my mother I need this drug otherwise I will have to go to a 'Sonderschule' and sooner or later I'll land in prison and get in contact with drugs(how funny nobody told my mum what Ritalin truly is). My father was already a 'rolling stone'...Not one blood screening was made in that period and I was never asked how I feel under the influence of it. Whatever I could go on and on. A weird combination of night walks on psychedelics, traveling and being observant let me realize my own true man show. I hope what I just wrote is not to much out of context.
Whenever I got a new job, I always had to win the respect within the first months, it was like my previous experience was completely irrelevant in the eyes of the employees with a distrusting attitude towards foreigners.
Could you guys just give me some advices how to stay here and not to become a mind unstable person or miserable berliner-like? I've got a job last week and now will work hard to earn money and leave this hell as soon as possible, but it gonna take a lot of time. So, how can you live here at least a year since today and don't want to kill yourself everyday? I feel exactly so.
Never leave your apartment.
Hang out with other short-term dwellers.
Lift.
Keep in touch with your family/friends back home.
Don't consume any German media.
Be vigilant when out in the city. Read police reports. Stay away from Wedding, especially Gesundbrunnen (probably the most dangerous area in the city).
Abandon any desire you have of being accepted and treated with respect by Germans.
Consider Germans you encounter to be inferior unless they prove you wrong. It's easier to let their idiocy slide when you adopt this framework.
Avoid long-term expats in this city at all costs.
Avoid German "physicians".
If necessary, self-medicate with vitamin D & tryptophan - especially in fall/winter.
Good advice. I would add to make fun of angry, frustrated berliners when you leave your house. Don't get into a relationship that will drag you down. The most miserable people I met there were people who ended up prisoners in this city because of family situations: got divorced, than had to stay there for the childrens kitas.
I would like to connect, since I feel similar. What I ecountered in this city is really sad and I don't want to become one of the people here. Is there a facebook group or something we could connect?
Leave now. You think I'm joking, just leave, it's the best advice you will ever get and you'll kick yourself in five years time for not taking it, when you are close to a nervous breakdown or you've actually become one of them to survive. Lots of B Complex with B12 extra.
I wish I would have discovered this site back when I lived there ... I would have been much more comfortable with what I really felt at that time. But for those who are still unsure what do, just stay true to yourself and you will make the right decisions.
What a shame,.
This used to be a very active site until the owners started trying to censor anything against the LeftTurds.
Same thing happened to The Guardian, they started deleting anti-Feminist comments and now they're broke, the only thing keeping them afloat is the Scott Trust, all caused by a Left-wing Feminist editor.
Now Breitbart are in financial difficulties because they started deleting anti-Zionist comments, so they have to bring Bannon back, with financial backing from one of the 1%.
Any whiff of censorship leads to catastrophe, always has. An open forum, is a good forum. The Jewish lobby are always trying to stifle debate, and now they've created a whole new breed of anti-Semites, that never existed before they tried to silence people.
I hope this forum becomes healthy again, I think it provides a very good community service of letting people know the are not crazy, because they are not alone in seeing Berlin for what it is, warts and all.
As if you just compared a little page where people vent their frustrations about life in Berlin to the Guardian and freaking Breitbart, what the hell is wrong with you? As if you think The Guardian, Breitbart and "BerlinHater" are the only 3 forums or channels for you to discuss politics and vent your "interesting" world view. For that matter, why on earth have you reached the conclusion that this page is the right place to cast aside everyone you don't agree with as a member of "the left" and blame Jews for everything bad about the world? What made you look at this site and think "bingo, here's an audience who'll listen to my anti-semitic bullshit". What a wally you really are.
We really have removed nothing, so I'm not szure what the complaints are about!
These nutjobs thrive on a persecution complex. "LeftTurds" are everywhere, everyone is censoring them, all media is run by "leftists" (or "Jews") except their far right trusted sources, one billionaire, Soros, is paying hundreds of thousands of actors to protest (and the far more numerous right leaning billionaires don't exist apparently).
www.youtube.com/watch They're really out in force today.
Do you really think that the Israeli government pays people to comment on Berlinhater.com? Do you really, really believe that? That is maybe the most insane thing I've ever heard. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure such practices go on from most governments globally but on Berlinhater? What possible benefit could this have? You are a berk of the highest order.
The author of this article proves that Germany is indeed a moral cesspool. So glad I am no longer there.

I have found Berlin people extremely rude, racist and homophobic to the extreme.
The city and it's trains are covered in graffiti.
The trains are always late and they all make a horrid braking noise!!
Homophobic?! Men are practically freaking each other on the streets. I've seen an older dude cuddling up to a barely legal youngster the other day in broad daylight. Bald dude walking around in heels and tiny shorts. Two dudes blocking off the entire isle at Edeka because they were making out. poop like that can get you arrested in the States, not mentioning beat up or killed. Are you kidding me right now?

Racists, homophobes, antisemites, people that only have hate in their lives
It seems it is better to feel bored when you feel bored instead of hating the boredom here. Or when feeling exhausted (from being tuned in) you naturally tune out and be more natural this way meaning to feel yourself and be more connected to life. Fun story: I was bored obviously and also happened to be out of money that day. So I took lots of small cash to buy cigarettes. Because I was bored I didn't overact and just didn't care about paying 6 bucks in 10 and 20 cent pieces. It was in fact fun. I did though precount the money but because I was bored I forgot 30 Cents in my pocket haha. I said I'm sorry just got small money. So the guy counted and I helped a little by building little towers. I heard this guy (turk) say before: Die sind alle nicht ganz dicht. He seems like a decent guy but hard to reach usually. So he said that's only 6 bucks and I replied well, that are 6.30. Long story, we counted it again and of course somebody was waiting behind and usually I would felt pressured but I just didn't care, it was fun. So we counted the money again and same result. Yet I still believed it was not missing 30 Cents. He just finished couting it all being so eager about it or lost in his discipline thing that he though hates himself and i replied, that it cannot be and he just went back to it again from the start haha. Then I just said Let me see if i have 30 more somewhere else, so I gave him what I felt was more and there was actually a sense of connection. So what I mean is that It seems usually good to tune into things but when things are poop you gotto tune out first to reconnect. It's just overstimulation otherwise. Only problem is when you try to tune out. Cause that's like an extra layer of being tuned in. Seriously, people can't walk past you without a weird feeling usually. Thing is when you not so tuned in nobody bumps into you cause the person feels that it would be them to be blamed then.
It is just that it reads like a solution. And it reminded me that It doesn't replace human warmth. When I wrote it I felt bored and then better but today I feel lonely even with others. Overall though surely better to feel. Just wanted to add this to not give a false impression about it.
This was actually overthinking things, nevermind. It just not good cause it comes with selfconsciousness and it could lead to being lost in a feeling. I wasn't in the best state when I typed it. We all can be wrong at times. Not sure why some people always have to be so quick to judge somebody.
A lot of people around here, including myself, have experienced this city through this lense: " Hipster - Club Mate - Yoga - Vegan - Techno - Migrant Ghetto kids - Feminist - Gypsies- Arabs - East Europeans - Bad Weather - Depression - Drugs - Boredom = Berlin ", as someone posted earlier. But this is just the side that young international people came in contact with, who have been lured here by the high expectations and false promises of "freedom". There is of course also a very german, I might add a bit conservative society here ( I'm talking about some parts of westberlin here) that gets overlooked,. The reason of that is I think the type of social ties within this society, which is not very ausländer friendly and those people seem to have rather a provincial life style, definitely not one you would expect from a big capital city.
I think about killing myself every single day.
SORRY, A SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC, BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Talking about the internet, have a look at these smug Feminists who work for Google and YouTube.

Feminism is cancer. These fascist fcked up Feminist sows want to demote anything that doesn't fit their Lefty gender-agenda. Time for war. Only use DuckDuckGo.com and DailyMotion or some other video site, these people have to be shut down and a message sent to FaceTurd's ZuckerTurd as well, and Microsoft and the F-ing rest of the Lefty fascists running the internet. FCK THIS.
Articles like this going into superficial detail, and conveniently ignoring anything negative for Berlin in their "info"-graphics.

All those relevant Berlin startups.
San Francisco has 100x better weather and a short drive away to beaches, spectacular national forests, mountains and more. The rich want good weather, better culture, beautiful beaches and more people like them.
Berlin has little to offer besides desperate cheap disposable employees that msot likely would underperform compared to Americans.
San Francisco is far more beautiful and that whole region is amazing. Hard to beat that. But its heyday was in the 90s and 00s. A developer salary ($100,000) is basically the minimum you should take if you move there, that will afford you an apartment with a roommate unless you get really lucky. If you want your own place or to buy a hough, you'll need to earn $150k or more (and the house you will need a high earning partner). It makes Zurich look like a bargain. The reason you still see people of various incomes is government assistance for very low earners or unemployed and a ton of people bought who bought property before it got really expensive who may be earning modest salaries. Some also move to Oakland, which has also gotten expensive, but commuting from there into SF is a major hassle and even worse if you work for a tech company south of SF city, which is where most are (90 minute commute). Their public transportation also sucks major butt compared to Berlin.
