...
I am leaving in two days, and up until I found this website, I was somehow sad to leave, and disappointed that I couldnt feel happy here... as many people, I blamed it all on myself. Now I am happy and excited to leave this place. NIE.WIEDER.
If you really feel like killing yourself, remember that it really is this city and not you. Don't think you've post the plot or that you are useless worthless piece of shite, that's how everyone feels here. So just keep visiting BelrinHater.de and that will help you keep it in perspective, then you will be able to have the brightness of optimism for the future.
Get onto CouchSurfing, they have ex-pat n=meet up nights, that will also help you and whatever you do, don't get lured into the sex, drugs, alcohol and rock and roll (mindless techno in this case). They will try to drag you down to their level, because they hate seeing people who are happy, but BerlinHater.de will keep you strong, because you won't feel so alone. BerlinHater really helped me, because I thought I was the problem for quite sometime and could never find where the problem with me was.
When first came to Berlin, I was happy, optimistic and positive and didn't notice it incrementally slipping away,
I love this site, it's my lifeline to reality :o)) Stick here for the time of your sentence and you'll be OK.
Seeing nice, once friendly people become bitter and resentful after spending some years here. That really breakes my heart.
Indeed. Once some sociologists made a research about people and happiness and apparently what makes people happy is healthy human connection, love, closeness. Alcohol, drug use, casual sex and all the short temp distractions/getaways make you more grey and empty. It seems Berlin is full of "free spirits", empty, disposable people... It gets to you, as someone said before here, you start thinking "What is wrong with me?" Feeling you are not cool enough if you don't waste yourself days after days in clubs and don't blow a carrot in the toilet when your mind is intoxicated and your hormones wild... If you are nice in Berlin after a while you either become trash yourself or just resentful and bitter... Seems there is no half way.
this what happened to me. my worst features blossomed in Berlin especially anxiousness, hatefullness and bitterness. You feel empty and numb because you start accepting the trashy life here as normal. You feel enraged when someone is being a penis to you.
gmx.de, which is probably the most used free e-mail provider in Germany, has great homepage articles today to delve into the German psyche.
1. Don't pour unused water from your electric kettle down the sink! Ways you can make use of that remaining water.
2. Trump signs weapons deal with Saudi Arabia! Trump to export weapons and create American jobs (side: obviously it's only ok when Germany is doing it)
3. Too nice for your job? Why being kind at work is hindering your success
This country is cancerous.
As long as the USA exists and keeps puppet governments in the Middle East, we will not be ruled by Muslims telling our womenfolk what to wear, or cutting off their clitorises. No matter what you think of the USA, and most of it I probably agree with you, look at the alternative, which one are you going to choose?
I can't judge this, because I'm gay (and RIGHT-liberal (Gary Johnson)) and therefore I can't reproduce myself.
So we have Reason No. x to hate Germany: No proper marriage for same-sex pairs.
Meeting normal social needs when shoppng is not possible when you get asked from above for a payback card. We all have the need to be noticed as a human. This is machine shit. People do not realize their social responsibility. It's like playing football in a really poop team. Also, people constantly create unfavourable situations unconsciously. freaking pens not work and such poop and it leads to them being in a position to say something abusive. I mean at least that's how it seems cause after all they don't know one. Just yesterday i checked my phone and i rarely use it in public cause i don't like this and a group of teenagers walks by noting me and the other 2 waiting for the bus looking at our phones and saying with a doublebind: Horrible, everybody looking at their phones. It's good weather guys...but not in a direct normal way but with this freaking doublebind of critical, belitteling. And i sit there thinking..well, what do you know girl...
Berlin is full of idiots. We just accept their retardation and don't judge them. Autism affects at least 80% of German males. And id they don't have that, they have lead or mercury poisoning. No other excuse for this capital od degeneracy and aggression.
What the hell is with old people here and staring? Just walking through any shopping center I cannot help but notice the miserable scowls of basically every woman over the age of 45. What has caused them such perpetual unhappiness?
no, being UNMARRIED with NO KIDS and over 45 is the cause of their misery, a husband and kids would make an older woman proud and RESPECTED among the public..German woman over 45 only option...yes 3rd world male 'refugees' who marry them for papers, notice all the over 45'ers volunteering for refugee help centers???
When I was still in Berlin, I saw plenty for old women (old as in, above 40) with their male refugees. It was a funny thing to see. Those women disregarded a lot of men while they were still young. Now their only option are poor, unskilled 3rd worlders lol
To be fair, Berlin men are not exactly catches. They're all plagued with emotional/developmental problems, drug and/or alcohol addiction, early hair loss, poor hygiene, chronic unemployment, generally being cheapskates and so on. I don't blame any German women that prefer non-Germans.
These dating issues are pretty similar in most big cities. Women think they want to commit but can't because they constantly think there must be some better catch they're missing. Some men are looking for something steady so they can have sex more regularly and hopefully have some emotional support rather than having to constantly hunt for casual sex with people who don't care at all about them only to fail 70% of the time. But the men who have zero interest in committing also tend to be the most appealing to women, so they focus their attention mostly on them perpetually hoping they can get one to commit, but they don't.
The way Berliners live like is robotic. This irresistibly reminded me of a German band called Kraftwerk, which went famous with technical songs. Ironically, isn't it?
I left almost a year ago after a long time there. I'm going back shortly for a work-holiday but really just to see friends. I feel detached now. For some reason i am slightly apprehensive. Since moving to a really friendly place in another part of Europe I am almost bracing myself for encounters of rudeness or hostility when i get to Berlin again.
Some good news, the moronic Feminist run Sweden has dropped charges against Julian Assange. I look forward to Sweden's karma for the harm they've caused this man who is a hero of the 99%. Berliners and Feminists are the most evil, stupid CNNTs in this world.
I'm sure she'd be happier being called a dumb alt-Right fagg0t, rather than a brainwashed, left-wing, SJW fagg0t.
Personally, I couldn't think of anything worse to call someone. Except maybe an anarchist, misandrist, Berlin style feminist.
I was very glad to hear about Assange.
There is not adequate AC anywhere in the city even in new shopping malls. I dread riding the ubahn. It feels like a gas chamber in this heat. There are just way too many people in public transport. Why the fck there are even more people in berlin than 3 years ago? It seems that everyone just wants to come here.
Germany has the highest costs for electricity in the EU, 2-fold prices of most of the other EU countries. That's explains the lack of AC. But unfortunetaly, energy costs don't discourage the rest of the world to come here. (yes I'm Hans and born in Berlin!)
yes they are tightwads with enery, closing the atomic plants made electricity more expensive....you roast on the U Banh and swelter in your hotel or apartment...but they dress it up as "helping the enivironment"...reducing greenhouse gases...no just cant afford expensive electricity,,cant admit that because then they'd have to admit Germans screwed up with energy policy..just curious..who pays refugee's state funded apartment electricity bills? can they run AC non stop? probably
The thing is that German electricity isn't the most expensive for commercial use. And German businesses sure as hell have more disposable money than Bulgarian ones for example. But their malls are kept nice and cold. Germans are just terrible humans all around.
Let's be grateful for Berlin. Some people live in New York. God forbid! I have met two girls and I haven't seen more feminazi bullshit, self-centerness, idiotic ideas displayed with pride and confidence, superiority in humans than in these two. I am still amaze of how someone be so proud while having the IQ of a pet and the looks of a bake potato. And not to mention the annoying way of speaking.... God bless America and let the blessings only there! I hate them today because people like this make Berlin a shithole!
A Berliner could never live in New York. They would have to get a job.apartment..etc with hard earned cash and street smarts. With out the German state breast feeding them they have little chance of survival in the real world. Keep sucking on the states nipple little berliners.
I agree with all of you. Indeed, two examples of "americans" do not make a general rule, but regardless their origins, "people like this" as I said before make Berlin shitty. I have friends from New York and they are educated, smart, ambitious and acknowledge the "fauna" as well. I try not to generalise to an absolute level but let's face it. If you meet the wrong american, you loose faith in humanity. Basically US is the best thing ever and NewYork is the epicentre of the planet. Don't make me starting about their statements about world problems. You will cringe. (PS: Yes, I am trying to use UK English. Had an overdose of LIKE awesome LIKE you kno'...)
Not American but from the anglosphere. You must have been living in Berlin for a loooong time, to somehow flip berlinhater.de into newyorkhater.com. You exhibit all the most typical traits of the most typical Berliner - passive aggressive, projecting, missing the point entirely. People should look at your comments to see what person they don't want to become, if they stay in Berlin for too long. I escaped that city and so grateful I don't have to interact with people like you anymore.
Thank you. I will take it as a compliment. To make light I must tell you that no, not a Berlin, no, not long ago I moved here and pardon me, but Berlin itself-the grounds of the city are not the issue. The people who inhabit it are the thing pisses all of us. We don't have to agree on all points. I encountered this in Berlin, not US... hence here the hate. In all fairness, the Berliners I know I can count with the fingers of one hands. Everyone else is from everywhere else, but here.
Some acehole stole a bungee strap from the basket on my bicycle, a miracle the bicycle wasn't stolen.
Spotted two gypsy pick pockets at Mauer Park flea market on Sunday, followed them and made it obvious I was watching them and videoing their movements, they eventually left, while giving me dirty looks.
This week I had 27 beggars ask me for money, mostly alcoholics and drug addicts, that's why they are homeless.
Had to avoid stepping in vomit, spit, piss and shite.
Dealing with BVG shop staff is the worst.
10 mumbled hellos from neighbours this week alone.
Can't find reliable staff.
Thought a computer at a flea market might be stolen, so I tracked the guy who owned it by data left on the computer to et him know where it was, but when he answered he sounded like a typical rude Berlin acehole, so I hung up the phone.
Spoke to a woman who said her neighbours downstairs had a flock of chickens in their apartment and the rooster would wake her every morning at 4.am-ish.
Saw a Berliner smile on Wednesday.
Everywhere I go, I see women with their heads covered in scarves, to remind me how scarily easy it is to brainwash humans with religion.
politics make strange bedfellows...Berlin encapsulates this...you have gays, feminist women Communist atheists who hate Christian European civilization living literally next door to anti Women rights , anti gay, profoundly religious Turks and Arabs...both voting for the Greens , Linke, or SPD, one group with no kids paying for the many welfare babies of the other group...all the while the first groups media censoring the crimes of their pets
I was getting ripped off for insurance until I stumbled across this site www.care-concept.de/krankenversicherung/auslandskrankenversicherung/auslandskrankenversicherung_care_expatriate_einleitung_eng.php
Let’s face it, all of western civilization is more or less screwed… plagued by greed, materialism, destroyed family values & religion but not replacing it with something that provides people with as much stability as religion/god/family/tradition did, removing tribal identity to create the nation state… now the nation state is turning into the globalist’s playground as pretty much every single western country is being flooded with non-western immigration. You can use your own imagination to picture what the western world will look like in 1 generation, maximum 2 generations time, on this trajectory. So yeah, all of the west is screwed… but in Germany, specifically Berlin, you can look at the dragon right in it’s eye. It’s a place where there is no values, meaning, no ideas, no hope, no peace… unless you want to be in an open relationship drinking a Berliner Pilsner, having no friends or any meaningful relationships in your life, no real career, no real life, just move on. Stop in Berlin, but don’t stay. Don’t fall for the illusion of freedom & hedonism in Berlin… the freedom & hedonism comes with a big price, the price of your mind and soul. I have never met a single person in Berlin who has been here for a long time and is not broken. It also doesn’t take 10 or 15 years for Berlin to break you… it can take only 2-3 years if you live “hard”. It’s a very seductive, manipulative city that makes you question your own sanity and own self-worth, because it makes you feel like something must be wrong with *you* instead of a city of 3.5 million. Because it doesn’t seem logical that there can be something wrong with a city of 3.5 million… rationally, it must be YOU that is wrong.. Because in other cities, you will find good, bad, beautiful and ugly, and you make of life what you will… but Berlin is unique, trust me. Maybe the place is cursed from Germany’s dark history, who knows. And this feeling of “what’s wrong with me” is insidious, you don’t just think it in one day. It slowly creeps up in your head that you are defective and something is wrong with you. Pretty soon you turn into an emotionally, mentally, spiritually broken person who has almost zero chance of recovering, even with all of the therapy in the world. You cannot recover once you go too far, because you will not be able to accept that you wasted years of your life for NOTHING. So if you live in Berlin for 5, 10, 15 years… you become 1) numb and 2) even when you have moments where you are lucid, you quickly go back to being numb again, because the realization that you just wasted your life is too painful to think about. So you’d rather just close your eyes and go back to Berlin… a psychopath waiting to embrace you in their arms, with all kinds of alcohol, drugs, partying, empty people & things to soothe your pain and make you feel numb again. If you don’t have depression, anxiety, personality disorder, mental illness, addiction problem or autism in Berlin you’re actually a minority, and you must either be a newcomer or you live in a very protected bubble in Berlin. I know some good people in Berlin. But they are very, very aware of how screwed up Berlin/Germany is and they live in a mental/emotional fortress, surrounding themselves with only a few people they can trust to not f-ck their psyche. It’s not an easy place to live.
Also, I want to add, the people I know who are good people and live in an emotional/mental fortress, are stuck in Berlin for reasons outside their control. They do plan to leave when they can, but for now they are trying to survive. That's how serious it is and that's how dark Berlin is. If you somehow found yourself on this site (you rarely will find criticisms of Berlin on the internet for some reason), consider yourself very lucky, read the stories and I know it sounds dramatic, but don't waste years of your life just to learn lessons that people here are sharing with you.
Also - I know people who really thrive in Berlin. Like my ex boyfriend. He has been there for 7 years, loved it since day 1 and still does. You know why? Because he is a narcissist (personality disorder). It took escaping that relationship (just like escaping Berlin) to see him for what he really was, because there was so much manipulation, gaslighting, illusions, psychological warfare going on. You don't see those things for what they really are, until later, when you connect the dots. So as a narcissist (high functioning, intelligent and hides it), he LOVES Berlin... an absolute paradise for him. If you are the opposite of a narcissist (empath or empathic person), you will suffer in Berlin, just like I suffered.
I feel grateful everyday for escaping that relationship and that city, without losing too much of my time. I only spent a year in the city and in that relationship. I don't think I could psychologically recover if it was 10 years instead of 14 months.
I've lived here for the past six years, solely to raise my six-year-old daughter. There is absolutely no other reason I would live here. I find the lack of empathy and basic emotional intelligence in mainstream Berliners depressing to be around. The lack of empathy is everywhere in this society, from the way organizations and government is run with no consideration for employee happiness, to the way older Germans stare and scrutinize at anyone different, because they are objects on the landscape after all, not people. There's a saying here: "to not be reprimanded should be considered reward enough". So you've got a passive-aggressive generation of people with a victim mentality who look for anyone they can bully. I've gotten pretty tough from living here (and martial arts since I was a little kid, and my daughter loves it too), but I do get sick of having to assert myself with obnoxious Berliners. Seeing friends of mine who aren't as assertive getting walked on a lot.
I want to move away from europe especially berlin because of third world migration. it will only get worse with time. Middle east and north africa are reproducing at an exponential rate without resources and infrastructure to suppprt such a population. All of them will just continue coming to europe and turning it into a garbage. Eventually european countries especially germans will elect hitler 2.0 or stalin 2.0 to solver the problem.
Another worry for me is muslim fundamentalism. As secular european become a minority, muslims will take over and create shariah rule.

OMG, that's so what Berlin is about. Scary stuff, but thanks for posting. The only shame on you is that it's on FACEBOOK, Mark Schmuckerberg's little baby, that disseminates all this type of left wing garbage, if anyone needs to be in that box, it's him. FK ALL LEFTIES, YOU STUPID FKING MORONS. I hope you all bore each other to death.
I lived in Berlin for 14 years. I came with great enthusiasm that went off in the years until I fell down, almost and disappeared. Non-existent jobs, competition for less paid, budget-free projects with the promise to succeed, reduced to living in a light idiot with a window in the "coolest" neighborhood. Disposable lives and disposable relationships, disposable friendships, the struggle of the poors with fancy Tshirts, but always "cool". "Being in Berlin is a privilege," they keep on saying to themselves , a voice of somebody who is imprisoned in a city jail. On the threshold of 40 I found myself poor, alone, but "full of friends with a great social life ". Until the day of 3 years ago, the bell rang, and meet my son's mother. The next day we get our suitcases and leave everything behind, from that moment in succession: great work, a beautiful baby, a fantastic home in the center of two floors, a mini cooper, vacation and all the rest is a memory of a shitthole.
