A Quiet Thought #Livingabroadalone #ForeignerlivinginGermany
Thank you everyone who have shared your experiences in the comment section! 🤗 It made me happy that many people understand me despite we are all from different countries 💛 Thank you for all the wishes too and wish you all a happy good life as well ☺
Well I am also a migrant in Germany and .... actually u are right. There can be some situations in which u may feel like racism against u takes place.
But actually that is complaining on a already high level.
I lived 4 years in China and worked there. During u would commit social suicide in Germany to say something racist against let’s say African.
In China u can just say. 我不喜欢黑人。and 7 out of 10 would not even see why this is a bad thing.
Or Korea where I also spend some time and which is way more homogeneous and hostile to foreigners than German society.
Or let’s look at Indonesia. My self I lived the last in Philippines when I was in Asia. Pre pandemic. So I can talk about this in my own experience.
The main position as a German in the Philippines u will have will be being a ATM. Everyone will scam u because u are a foreigner.
They will go eat with u and party when u bring some thousand pesos.
Finding good friends that like u for who u are won’t be easy at all.
And Indonesia ..... well even Indonesia (I was just in Jakarta once)
Has some issues according to this topic.
I mean despite the fact that u may experienced racism and discrimination (maybe u also imagined it was this just because u felt the situation wasn’t going the way u wanted)
I would pretty much argue that u have been treated as a foreigner in Germany way better than foreigners get treated in other countries.
The country I am from won’t allow anyone build a church to practice his religion.
Many parents in my country won’t allow their children marry a foreigner either.
Also in my country if u speak out as a foreigner against the political system u may be arrested or beaten up.
U don’t have to like Germany. U can have free education here and u can hate it from the core. U don’t need to eat the German Food or value the Culture. U can even be disrespectful to it.
U can do this all because, it sounds weird but it is the freedom u have here.
And just as comparison. When I was living in China a guy nearly got deported because he said he likes his country more than China because it is more developed and workers rights are respected. This was seen by someone as spreading if counterrevolutionary ideas. (Also he might have mentioned other things)
But however.....
I wish u a great journey.
@@johanhirte9661 i appreciate your words🤗 I agree that WHEREEVER you are, there will always be discrimination. Although, in this video I was just talking about my experiences and how I feel as someone living there for 7 years.
And thank you for ur wishes too😊
@@yukireena13
Well if u are sensitive to this kind of treatment I would also not recommend u. Japan, Korea and China.
If u want to live in foreign Asian countries.
They can be also quite racist and especially south asians are seen by many as 2nd class people.
The problem is also that there no political correctness in China for example. And in Korea many won’t care also. In japan they at least won’t say it in ur face and will talk about u behind ur back.
If u can speak Chinese and understand u would hear maybe many comments like:
Oh 😯 her skin is so dark. That looks ugly. She should be more white.
I think u should try the Philippines 🇵🇭. There u will not stand out and will see such situations less. But be careful u are in a catholic country!! Then.
@@johanhirte9661 never said I would move anywhere else 🤷🏻♀️
Jeder Mensch ist fast überall auf dieser Welt ein Ausländer, egal wohin er geht. Die Heimat im Herzen aber offen für die Welt, das ist was zählt und euch weiterbringt.
After 14 years in Germany I feel like it is killing my soul...I agree with you totally ...I speak German fluently and have a good job here, but I wish I could leave every day
i feel the same Lynn🥺she is right its not about how long you live here, something feels not home here.
And no matter how much you try to integrate and adapt, they will always find an excuse to emphasise that you are not welcome!
@@sanja2007 Maybe because it's not your home lol
I was born here, and don't feel at home here 😁. I am American at heart.
Hi Lynn's INTENTION,
I am not German. I am not even European. I have been living in an English-speaking country which a lot of young German backpackers visit every year. I have had some short, admittedly superficial, interactions with these young Germans and have not found them to be out of the ordinary. Do you think there is any big difference in mentality of young Germans in their 20s and elderly Germans in their 60s and 70s? I also once came across a German-language short documentary in which a German police officer complains that young Germans today do not have the same respect for police officers like previous generations. That caused me to wonder if young Germans are less conformist, less herd-following, more independent-minded, more rebellious and more willing to be different. What do you think?
If you can help me and others to know more about what German people are really like, can you expand more on what you mean by "I feel like it is killing my soul"? For instance, you could list a number of negatives and give an example to illustrate so that foreigners can become more aware.
I have completed my generalistische Pflegeausbildung successfully and yes i am leaving Germany woahhhhh😂 never felt so happy! Germany broke me mentally and emotionally after living for 7 years here!! ☺️☺️☺️ Finally i am leaving Germany! The bureaucracy, red tape, racism , doctors appointment, poor healthcare system completely broke me!! I can't take it anymore.
I left germany after a year... Looking back it was the Best decision
everyone does even Germans
Can’t agree more. I am leaving Germany without even completing my education, which I mainly came here for. Thanks for the unhealthy atmosphere and open drug culture and the extremely cold attitude by people. I have met some nice people as well, but, to be honest, they all never looked happy. I wonder what has come up on this land and their people. It doesn’t take much to be happy and cheerful.
Despite not being dependent on the system and despite studying in a paid university, I still felt that people take me for s refugee. The general population is so clueless that they do not know how to differentiate between legal and illegal immigrants. Even the cops here are of no help at all when you need help. And the number of scams you can get pulled in is tremendous. How the media projects Germany as a very open-minded and welcoming society is just BS.
@@br78910 germany is so lost that even I as a german experienced racism especially in my school year from my teacher beeing one of few only germans in class and when I studied flyers hanging around "why its not okay to be white"
God bless you 🙏
@@br78910 Germans are very cold hearted and Racists.
They complain that foreigners don't want to integrate and don't want to speak the language. I lived there for 6 years, speak the language fluently, I know more about the history and culture than most locals and yet I faced so much discrimination while living there.
Whenever I shared my experience they always gaslighted me and made it seem like I was the problem. No, I'm being kind, respectful I want to learn and yet people treat me like this?
What is the point of living in a "developed" country where people are just miserable..?
Absolutely 👏🏻
Exactly! Greetings Syrian Refugee 🙃😊
@@jwanmlli6653 Lol, you are really the absolute last ones with a right to complain about anything in Germany.
Maybe you are the Problem.
Im German, and lived here till I was 26 than moved to the USA for 8 years. Came back to Germany and now after 2 years Im going to move back to the USA.
Of course it’s not possible to generalize things.
But also lived for a while in France and even there I loved it more than in Germany.
I have to say, that moving to Germany disappointed me a lot. The country is presented by media as some kind of open-minded, hippie, progressive country, so you have feeling you’re moving to country which is “better”. Economical speaking, yes, Germany is good, but the culture lacks basic human feeling. People are not friendly, they are rude and cold and are not so “diverse” as media presents. Also during my university life I almost made not much friends, as the college life doesn’t exist here at all. To sum up: Germany is fine for people who are careerists or introverted, but it’s not a place of human warmth.
I must say I agree with you. It did also disappoint me alot. Most of my friends have international background, so I do not have that many "German" friends as well.
@@yukireena13 Yes, mostly internationals. But being foreigner in foreigner country doesn’t mean that you can’t build your new home. I spent one year in Turkey studying as Erasmus student and I felt certainly more welcomed and accepted by local people than in Germany. I’d say that if you’re emotional person who values human contact than Northern Europe isn’t generally the best place to move to.
Agree with you. Germans are often very mean and if you say something against it, you’re just sensitive, because you can’t take the truth.
that kinda happens if you mistake honesty with rudeness
@@johnnykotletti4614 No, it’s rudeness. If I ask someone to give me a honest opinion, it’s okay if this is not a positive one. But if you just shove me your mean opinion down the throat without being asked for it, it’s simply rude. If you have nothing nice to say just shut up and say nothing.
Italian and going to return to my country or move near it after almost 5 years in Germany. No matter if I speak a good German, if I work hard, if I always stay available to help others. Most of Germans are envious and prefer to talk behind your back instead of solving a problem together. Small example: if I take a 5 minutes break during my job, right after having worked non-stop, then my coworker claims I'm lazy and later reports that to my boss(German) who agrees without proof. If the German coworker, who's lazy at best, takes a 15-20 minutes break for drinking his coffee and ignoring the rest, then he earned it! I'm tired of dealing with this kid attitude and some German and non-German friends of mine have faced similar situation and move somewhere else.
Kindergarten. Germans suck.
This happened to me. In fact my colleagues intentionally worked slower and proceeded to insult me in German loudly and pretend to imitate me... (I was too shy to speak German and just started learning) ... I understood what they were saying. Mostly.
My soul is dying here.
@@migz9932 I will be leavung nextr month........ true you said about soul......
I'm Australian and moved with my gf (Who is German) to Germany a few years back but eventually we moved back to Australia after almost 2 years. The bureaucracy, miserable people, weather, and racism as a mixed couple were the big factors to return to Oz. Australia has a racist reputation but as a brown man, I faced more racism in my 2 years in Germany than my entire life in Australia.
one more lie please
@@wigadwi6611 You're a great person.
@@biggiedii4889
Bruh you absolutely killed me 🤣🤣
Haven't been to Australia. But from the very few Aussies I've met, they seem very chill
It's strange how a lot of African Americans are saying the opposite: they have a better life and are seeing less racism in Germany than in their country.
WIthout music it would have been better. Yes I want to leave too even though I was born in here. People are rude, there is no social life, there is subtle racism in the sense that the germans behave like master people, shout at you, boss you around and snitch on you. Theyre always suspicious of you. You wont notice this until you work here. If youre a tourist you wont notice. If you have a social circle of foreigners you can get along in here, otherwise its depressing.
Am German, grew up in Germany, lived here all my life and I feel the same. After school, life gets hard. People in Germany are miserable and unhappy, and even for Germans it’s hard to bond or find people who actually care when moving to a new place, especially large cities like Hamburg, Berlin or Munich. After spending some months in Valencia, these things got so evident that we planned to move there for good. The best case scenario is a remote job in Germany which pays really well (you most probably need to speak German) and live somewhere else where the climate is good and the people are happy. Take care y‘all!
Last real friendships 90% of Germans form were in High School.
After that Germans have work colleagues and acquaintances.
@@izil1feI think that goes for every country.
That's a great idea in theory, thing is laws in Germany do not allow for that. The best you can find is a job that lets you work a few weeks a year in another EU Country.
@@n1516-qk4vb Sure it is possible. Either via an Employer of Record provider like Remote or WorkMotion or as a freelancer, just to name some options
Big respect 🙌 to u for speaking the truth! Good luck to u as well dear ❤
Next time turn down the background music, it's too loud and distracting to what u saying.
Lol. I thought I had accidentally clicked a video on a background tab.
@@tyn6211 lol..me too
I lived in Germany for a year and never managed to integrate, glad to see I'm not the only one! I now live in the UK (I'm Italian) and feel totally at home
You need like 5 lifes to
Good that you never tried. I have C1 certificate and work in Management consulting in Frankfurt. Me along with other non native speakers (there are just a handful, though), are blatantly excluded from group conversation, where they use full range of idioms, proverbs, bon mots, colloquialisms, cultural and regional references, even local dialects, and refuse to budge even a centimeter for non-native speakers. Integration in Germany is a hamster wheel.
I always feel so happy in Italy, because I can chat to Italians and they are open and friendly back. I need to visit your beautiful country every now and then to remind myself that I am not a total freak. I’m so very glad that you are feeling happy and welcome in the UK, where I am originally from (Wales).
@@LaureninGermany great to hear that! Our hospitality is something I'm very proud of and luckily I've found a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere in England too 😊 haven't been to Wales yet but would definitely love to visit, I have heard it's such a lovely place
@@val-schaeffer1117 Wtf, for real, omg, that's shocking. I'm a procurement and supply chain professional with a British MSc degree and work experience. Do I stand a chance to find a job in Frankfurt or Germany with my skill set, my German level is B2. Just moved here.
I am actually german, not just by passport, but by heritage. At the age of 31 i moved from a bigger city into a small village, that was more than 20 years ago. I never made friends, sometimes i was actively ignored, at christmas markets, when i try to take a sit at a table with other people, i am asked to leave. The only way to make contact was by sport.
This is not just a thing for people, that migrate here. People here expect you to fit in in all aspects, if you don't like carnival, if you don't like beer and soccer, if you do not go to church you are already a pariah (these were the things that disqualified me).
In germany you should expect to find very few friends, you should expect, that other people will let you feel like you don't belong here. This is not different among germans, this is one of our big flaws.
That is a really good insight from someone who is a German by heritage. Its a good info for other international people as well that it is like that culturally and not racism. Thanx 🤗
You are right. What drives me crazy is only talk about money. Even tv commercials. Really sick. I am a foreigner who respects German laws, but not local customs. I will never try to fit in, because it is simply not me. I like professional approach to work here in Germany above all.
@@elp.3478 And you shouldn't try to fit in. But it is not local customs, it is tribalism. If you want to join a closely knitted society, you are automatically a part of a hierarchy. And as a newcomer you are at the low end of this hierarchy, and you will stay there probably for the rest of your life. That is why is stopped trying to fit in. I am just reluctant to be at the mercy of some invisible rules by some bigwigs. And you have a lot of them in germany, rules and bigwigs.
Nevertheless you find social niches, and they increasing and are becoming more fulfilling. This one thing i discovered, diversity also helps many germans, who want to break up the tribal mold of their country.
@@flashnfantasy I see many Romanians from the same company do try to become Germans over night. They dress up the traditional Bayern pants, dresses, make photos on Facebook. OK everyone has it's own approach. I was looked down during work two times by two women and each time I shut their mouth instantly. From that moment all is perfect again. If you keep your mouth closed, many will piss all over you, because you are a foreigner. It is clear to me. The only surprise let's put it that way was when I registered my address in municipality. You can be registered as follower of different religions, but not Islam. She said program does not recognise it. So I said, lady you need program update, it is 2019.
Thanks for the insight
I'm mixed myself. My mother from Latin America and my father is German. I grew up here but I don't have a single german friend. All my friends are also mixed or have anoher background. And I am also thinking to migrate back to Latin America. I understand you. Wish you all the best.
Damn migrate back, thats savage. Wish u the best bro
There's no perfect country, there will be always pros and cons, just keep looking until you find the right one for you. I lived three years in Germany but it didn't work out, so I was able to find my new home in Canada, my family and I couldn't be much happier here.
I can only tell you the following: The best country in the world is the one that makes you feel and be the happiest "you"
If you don’t mind me asking, what made you leave Germany? Why didn’t it work out?
@@benjackson7872 unfortunately we were facing and seeing racism almost every day and my kids were the most affected ones because of it. My family and I tried really hard to integrate into the German society by learning the language, obeying the rules, making local friends but nothing worked. We were being treated differently and unrespectfully. Racism is everywhere there's no way around it but I experienced the worst of it while leaving in Germany. non-white people like me experience these microaggressions way too often and the feeling of not belonging is the worst thing that can happen to anyone since no matter how hard you try you will never be considered German just because you don't look like a German and speak like a German.
@@avosaga5595 Well, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.
@@avosaga5595 where did you lived in germany? YES, we have idiots like that, few rasists also...but they are not germany. I´m always sad to hear things like that.
Are Canadians friendly people? I'm learning English and I'd love to make friends in Canada! I don't know if they are more open-minded.
I am from India and living here in Germany since last 5 years and leaving back to my home country India in June 2024. However, there were scenarios where I faced subtle discrimination be it in job interviews or while passing through some random people on the streets. In my opinion, Germans are not at all open minded and a lot colder. I also speak fluent German language up to C1 level. But Germans have always saw me as an outsider. I tried every method to make German friends however they considered me as their friends and I was always sidelined for whatsoever reasons. Moreover, another reason why I am leaving Germany permanently is because the lack of digitisation. India was lacking in terms of digitisation 5-6 years back but I can now proudly say that India has been much more digitised than Germany and it feels like living in Stone Age era in Germany.
I lived in Germany for a year and it was a living hell.
Low salary, Lazy Germans
Germans are very racists and are cold hearted. BTW good decision of moving out of that hellhole.
You have something important to say but that background music is so annoying!!
I want to leave daily. But i lost everything to get here.
I grew up with the belief that if the environment isnt suitable and non of our efforts make life happy, then change the environment.
Im still a firm believer.
The only problem is.... Where do i go now 😔😔😔😔
❤❤ you will find your happiness don't be so sad
Hi. What did you decide? I'm in a similar boat as you
@@barneyy6942 I installed some dumb friendship apps... Still absolutely no luck.
Sadly I was dumb enough to have surgery here to fix a simple ligament problem. Surgeon RUINED me. I'm now disabled with a degree of 30 since hands don't really qualify for much.
This has forced me to live in limbo over here.
Job agencies tell me to come back when I'm healed...
When I go to doctors they tell me to "live with it".
Being a foreigner and injured... Well.... Bottom of the food chain as you can imagine.
Unlike the locals here I don't book of sick for every tiny thing. I just want to work, have a career, friends and be safe.
If I could leave tomorrow I'd leave within a second and leave all the stuff I spent a small fortune to bring here but I have absolutely no idea where to go.
I travel 10-20 hours across Germany to doctors to try find someone who can reverse what a German surgeon did to me.
Pretty soon I will loose all hope with this country.
I can't understand how third world countries have better surgeons... Who cares, have a heart and don't leave you disabled after simple surgery...
I want to start mass applying for work world wide.
Not sure what else to do.
Trying hard to find remote work because then I can use text to talk and find ways to get the work done without bothering people or traveling.
I can't cycle due to my hand... And I'm now broke because I been living off my savings to get by...
If I knew what Germany was like I'd not have come here.
I'd never have surgery here... Or I'd have just left the second the surgeon destroyed my life, all my talents and hobbies, career and employment opportunities.
I'd have at least been able to make a plan to fix my hand with cash.
I have always been motivated and hard working and strong. Life was so hard many many times but things always worked out. No matter where I moved I found friends within a week... I found ways to earn money and so on..
This place BROKE me...
From an extremely fit person, exercising daily, highly motivated to buy a house and have a clean break and positive start to a new life...
To someone who doesn't even want to leave my tiny room to attend a physiotherapy appointment.
I am on different forums.. and found a woman that's been here 20+ years (from my country), speaks fluent German... Stuck here due to marriage etc... and she has not made ONE friend since she got here.
I hear these stories more and more and more....
And people from where I'm from often go back home... And yet we ran from that place.
To be honest... If I had the opportunity to leave id prefere my old life back. Maybe adding to the statistics due to crime (being a victim again) and being happy until that day is better than feeling so dead every day here.
But there's no way I can get my car back, furniture back , job agencies back, etc. I can't arrive there with nothing... After selling/giving away everything at a loss.
I lost so much for a better life!!!
Just don't know what to do.
What I do know.. if this year is just as bad as every year no matter the effort I try and try and try...
If there seriously not a single surgeon here who can fix what a GERMAN surgeon did to me...
I just don't want to grow old here.
I'm struggling as a younger person to get help.. this is a nightmare.. this is hell.
How can I do this in my 60s+??!!!
I actually don't give a dam about all the "benefits" Germany has. I have paid for pvt security, pvt medical etc all my life and never once got I employment money....
If rather be happy with a career and pay for everything.
Then be miserable nobody that nobody will even notice if I had a heart attack in my flat or slipped in the shower.
So what will I do... Mass apply everywhere other than here... And stick to English countries. If that doesn't work. Don't know.
Mass apply to whatever tops "most happiest countries in the world".
If that doesn't work then reach English in Asia somewhere.
Anywhere BUT here.
I'm leaving too I'm just waiting for the German passport. As refugee I could stuck here forever without this passport
@@migz9932I'm sorry to hear that, I hope that everything will work well for you, where do you live in Germany?
I find it funny how all the comments written by Germans are proving your point 😂 and they don't even realise it
Actually biggest defenders of German discrimination (typically take-it-or-leave-it logic) are newbie third world skilled or semi-skilled migrants, dazzled by first world infrastructure, but don't know what in store for them.
How do I know? I started from that point, myself.
I hate it here
Everything you said 100% correct, and more!
I must point out that Germany (much like Sweden and Netherlands) are socialist (with generous welfare state) but arch-conservative (when it comes to free market), and hardly "liberal" is it is understood in American (and increasingly in British) media.
Corporate World, Academia, Politics are near 100% homogeneous, number of skilled migrants are negligible, neighbourhoods separated along ethnic lines.
There are no anti-discriminations laws, and language is used (even for certified business fluent speakers) to exclude anyone one ad-hoc basis.
Handful of Chinese PhD students and Indian IT workers, along with hordes of mass migrants perpetually on welfare, do not make a "vibrant" society, as FT, Guardian, Economist would like to portray.
It is not only non-germans, I am German but I moved a lot, so making friends is very challenging, I lived in England for a while and felt much more welcomed there than here, but at the Coasts of Germany it is much nicer, also Cologne is a great place to be, it is easier to find chat partners
Do you know how frankfurt is? :)
For me it's not challenging at all. It's very easy to make friends wether in the south, north or middle.
I always meet like minded people over group activities.
Study groups, open lectures, internet, sport etc.
@@shitolafnan5469 i can't really speak about frankfurt but if you are brown person i would recommend hamburg
@@grinsekatze6155 thanks for your recommendation 👍
As much as people say people in Cologne are friendly and open, I happened to experience racism in Cologne sarcastically. Now the city has lost its charm for me :(
i regret to come to germany so much😢😢😢😢
@@alicunte5624 It's a good thing that I watch some videos of Germany before making a decision to further studies there. Australia is so much better

thank you for doing this video! currently studying in Germany and experiencing the same thing!
Well I am Australian Korean and I lived in Germany for two years and was so sucks all the people are so mean
Probably cause no one likes kpoop there 🤣🤣🤣
i came to germany 10 years ago and at the beginning it was pretty hard no friend or somebody to talk too apart from myy parents and i often went back to my friends in Belgium for the weekends but after some time i got out more went to the village soccer team and after some time a guy offerd me a beer and we started talking and the ball kept rolling and yes even now people still say something about the way i talk but its all fun and games
Your name sounds about as Germans as Hans Müller
Where did she moved to?
You are absolutely right.This is a country that will never appreciate any foreigners. I am thinking also moving to other country.
Somewhere that people are not racist and rude this much .
Where did you live in Germany?
Well, you should never count on being appreciated somewhere else because you are a foreigner. When you go anywhere else from your hometown, you must make the efforts to get accepted by the locals. You come, they are already there. It will never be "hey, here I am, I am a foreigner, I am so great, love me". Wherever you go, maybe exept for the classical migrant societies such as Canada, Australia or USA, there will be a struggle to be accepted. And for a German, the "hi we love you" approach in the USA can also feel false...
@@yvonnehorde1097 EVERYBODY is a "foreigner" , originally. And "hometown" ??? yuk, that was the place that nearly killed me/let "her" kill me. No "home" to me, only PTSD, nightmares and terror. Feel at HOME anywhere BUT germany.
I totally agree with you, I am also a student, what I don't like about Germany is the weather and cold people, I don't mind if someone treats me like a foreigner ,because I'm proud of who I am, but I think it will be hard for my future children if they would be treated like this, because if someone is born in Germany he will feel always German. That s why ,one day I will return to my country , i m just in a mission now
This is kind of typical for europe and reminds me of a real-life example: my own family. in the 17th/18th century my ancestors emigrated from germany to russia. They lived there for roughly 300 years. Even after THREE CENTURIES of living there no one would have ever seen them as russians. They were always german.
In europe nationalities/ethnicities just stick with you forever. You will never suddenly be german or finnish or russian or hungarian or any european nationality. Its just the way it it here and it been like this since forever.
This phenomenon is also very strong in middle/northern asia where ancestry is very important.
@@AS-rd4xi they were considered as german because they tried to keep their german identity by themself. They lived in their closed communities, married inside them. So if they didn't see themself as russian why russian should do that? Also Russia is multi ethnic country and russian it's only one of many ethnisity who live there. So it's totally normal to be tatar or german or korean and not to be considered as outlander at the same time.
@@AS-rd4xi - Well said. Your comnent is very true. I am an Asian who emigrated to Germany.
It depends.
For me it's how they behave, how good they speak the language etc.
But if you don't know a person the first impression without speaking to them will be how they look.
@@bazzybon in Russia all ethnicities beside russians are considered Power class! Espeacially when u look on Germans! They were extorted and robbed several Time thrpughout history! Same like today with the current war!
After seeing this I wrote "leave Germany" in thE search and I found at least a dozen similar videos. You are not alone, young lady.
and the germans usually have the audacity to talk you into believing there is sth. wrong with you.
More of love Germany, y'all keep focusing on the negatives
yes the worst party are the shockingly high taxes u have to pay and to accept that u probably will never effort ur own house
Try typing "left Italy...left Spain...left the US......."
Thanks for sharing. I always felt the same way in northern Italy. In southern Italy I felt much more welcome than in the north. I moved to the UK and I feel a bit more welcome here and the British have really worked hard to ensure integration of foreigners on their societies.
I am German, and I fully understand you guys perspectives. I was born and raised here for 25 years, but I am half Chinese, half German. I dont even feel truly at home here. I wouldnt say Germans are particularly cold or racist towards foreigners, Id say Germans are just cold in general (including to each other as well). Whenever I traveled to foreign countries, it was so much easier to make friends and my best friends are always foreigners or at least mixed Germans - never pure blood Aryans haha.
Germans are extremely racist, they just do not express it in categorical terms, but there are unbearable amount of aggression in air. Even skilled migrants fluent in German are not accepted. Every interaction feels inches away from eyeroll or deep sigh, one grammatical error away from being labelled unintegrated, one complaint away from being told to go back to where they come from.
"Germans are just cold in general (including to each other as well)" - no they are NOT. Germans are quite friendly with Caucasian migrants. People can be distant and reserved because of several reasons. In Switzerland people are distant to each other because they are introverted. Germans are very very extroverted. They are distant out of xenophobia.

I am German, I also look typically German. However, I grew up in a family in which two of my uncles originally came from Africa, so that our family now contains six family members who have a migration background. One of my uncles returned to Ghana after completing his studies and 20 years later my cousin came to Germany with her German passport and had similar experiences as many who expressed themselves here in the chat. The other uncle of mine has stayed in Germany, has built up a existence and is fully integrated. His son, my other cousin, is a person who cannot be more German in terms of mentality. When I compare my cousin, who grew up in Africa with my cousin, who grew up in Germany, I can only be amazed at how much their cultural backround supports both in their lives in Germany more or less well, to make progress, to make contacts, to be happy. While my African cousin, after arriving in Germany, had massive problems for many years, I don't see this problem for their children, both of whom are black, grew up in Germany, and have absorbed both cultures. The key to a happy life in Germany actually seems to me to be in the understanding of German culture, because my uncle, who has stayed in Germany with his German wife and child, who has also sucked up a German culture with breast milk, who was able to grapple with German culture, learn to understand it and thus also be happy in Germany.

This is the life here in Sweden as well. The same thing. I believe that life in the west is like that. After 23 years in Sweden, I have 0 friends .. ZERO!!! even if I tried hard to have.

I was an immigrant too and I endorse this girl. You will never grow your carrer in germany.
I see that I’m not the only one who was disappointed about Germany…The people from there are cold,but also very rude(especially the turkish immigrants).Honestly,neither the sightseeing were not so much interesting for me,in this regard preferring Austria or Italy.
Thanks for sharing. Being an outsider is a fact of living abroad. Some places may feel more like it than others, and it may depend on what part of the country you live in, but ... in the end, being comfortable with being as much integrated with the place you are living right now is the key to happiness. (Urban, not rural) Germany is not a bad place to be all considering Sadly, when going back ... you may feel somewhat of an outsider back home.
There are many freedoms to being a child of the universe like this, these may make it feel all better ;-)
Best of luck.
Thank you for sharing your experience. You actually came to Germany knowing that you would return back after your education. Now it seems to be painful for you to leave Germany for good. Did you intend to stay and settle down in Germany? Why is it actually a big deal for many people to leave Germany after completing the mission that brought them to Germany?
So you dislike uneducated mass migrants because they are not "doctors and engineers", but you dislike skilled migrants as well. Any wonder handful of skilled migrants who arrive in Germany, ends up leaving, because of constant barrage of hostility and discrimination, and milked to the last drop by near 50% tax rate. Arier and Islamists deserve each other.
@@val-schaeffer1117 German society is not as you described it. It is an open civilized society like any other country in the modern world. Compared to many other nations, German immigration law is highly developed and very comprehensive. Immigration to Germany has a long tradition and foreigners from all walks of life have settled in Germany since the middle of the last century. The country isn't actually as big as Canada and the US for accommodating large numbers of migrants, but it's pretty good when you look at other European nations in this regard. The immigrant population in most cities is up to 25% but is considerably small in rural areas.

I came to Germany since 2014 for my degree. I agree with your third point totally. German people at the uni do not want to be friend with students with other nationalities and they make it so obvious. I would say that most people are nice and polite but there are some students who see you like something irritating. When I speak up at the uni and someone does not like me, the whole group will follow. I am sure if I am not a foreigner, I will get a different reaction. My plan is to stay there for work for a few years after my graduation and making a lot of money and I will not making any effort to be accepted in german groups anymore. I will stay in my expat-circle for my mental health. I'll try to look at the good sides of being in Germany like high paid job and the fair system and will ignore those rude german people.
Thank you for you video. I'm feel relieved to know that I am not the only one feeling that way and experieneced racism in the uni. I'm from a south-east asian country by the way.
Exactly even if a lot people say the young generation are not rude or racist is a lies, I never come across old people being racist to me but school 🤮🤮🤮 they’re just jealous they’ll gang up on you the whole class
Bye we dont need you! Maybe its not the people its you! Take ur free education and leave or try to geh sone friends outside of university! In Germany u dont have 100 friends u have few real friends!
Absolutely same experience. They dont want internationals as a part of them. I guess only international students end up getting to know each other and be for each other. But at the end of the day its important to find inner peace or it just eats you up from inside here. Thats the reality.
I could never bring myself to understand why would anyone choose a German University for education, free education is not everything. America is and will always be the best place for higher education PERIOD.
I was born in Malaysia, my dad's malay but my mom's romanian. Funny thing is we spoke english in our family. Basically i was used to english in a malay world.

Whereever you go if there is a huge important native population, you will be an outsider somehow everywhere you go. Of course, having another way you look apart from the native population makes it stronger, but a Philipono in Japan is an outsider, too, and my aunt, who is completely white and married an English bloke always was "the German girl from over the road. If you want to be completly part of the native population, you must BE the native population.
And you contradict yourself. Once, you say, you grew up here and the next moment you say your parents still live in Indonesia. What is true?
Cut out the music, I wanted to hear what YOU were saying.
I had the same experiences in England, you can be there for years, working and studying but always being treated like an "outsider"
Great decision, I must say! I've been living in Germany for 2 and a half years now and I'm leaving soon, because it's the worst country I've ever been in, hands down. For many people that want to move to Germany, please reconsider and do a lot of research about the country before. A couple of reasons why I'm leaving are that people are rude, not funny, the life here is very boring, people judge a lot and yeah, you'll always feel like an outsider and besides that, they are also pretty racist.
Exactly why I'm leaving.

These people that are clearly foreigners, moving to a country with a different racial makeup and culture expecting to be treated as if they're in their home country. Asian countries are not welcoming to Westerners. To hear her gripes is the height of hypocrisy. Wester Euro countries, and America, seem to be the only places expected to actively promote a foreigner's culture over their own. One visits Japan or China, you're not welcomed if you are expecting locals to view as one of them, and accept your cultural elements that are likely in opposition with their own. So sick of this.

@@miajones2731 I've never been to the Philippines so I don't know about it there, but I've been to Japan and while there weren't any big issues in the bigger cities and the people were quite friendly there, once we went a bit outside of the typical tourist destinations, people were extremely unwelcoming and sometimes even extremely racist. Racism is not a white invention and exists pretty much everywhere.
Everything you say also goes for someone moving from Germany to Indonesia, especially feeling like an immigrant or an outsider.
I agree
They take advantage of westerners in every chance.
no, it's not the same
Indonesian people are friendly and known for being hospitable... similar to Philippines and other SEA countries. Some would even approach you to take pictures if you stand out (eg. caucasian)... You'd feel special and like an outsider indeed, but one thing for sure they will not be cold towards you.

Hi, just wanted to say you are so beautiful !!!!!! I am sorry you didn`t feel at home here in Germany. 😥
I feel you so much. I moved to Germany at the age of 6 with my parents and I have literally a German background, because my grandparents are German, but I experienced the same reactions as you. No matter what, you will always stay the foreigner and less worthy than a German. Worst case is if you’re from a poor background. Then you have absolutely no chance to get a better life or be respected.
I mean, Germany is Germany for a reason. Germans built it. They run it…
As a German, I never understood this thing of people mentioning their German heritage if they have no other ties to the country. We go more by nationality, not by heritage in Germany as I see it.
@corvus corax:
Thailand is Asia - in Thailand Europeans tend to lord it over the local people, same in Indonesia - the WORST for this are, unfortunately, German tourists, many of whom are in fact sex tourism among paedophelia is very widespread.
No one in either country has treated European people badly or made anyone feel unwelcome od made sweeping calls for exclusion of "Europeans" because of the disgusting activities engaged in by a large number of Germans who go there for sexual pleasures that are criminal in their own country. (Even more ironic, for all the racistly-tinged discourse about helping "civilized white Europeans", Ukraine has become an even bigger destination of choice for the rampant German child-sex tourism as it is ripe for the picking when it comes to sex-trafficking).
Interestingly enough for all the big tall talk and Junkers' arrogance (& NO, i m NOT stooping to claim that these warped individuals define the entire ethnicity):
Germany owes its post war success to US MRshall Plan money to rebuild the country, AND to Russian energy without which Germany will be destitute.
Why is it that SOME Germans have the audacity to look down on non Northern Europeans while Germany goes begging China and Arab countries for desparately needed fianncial bailouts - if Germany is so great, why does it need foreign capital - especially capital from countries whose people are oftetimes despised in Germany?
What about the hundreds of billions of euros that was stolen through massive fraud by "nice, civilized, Beethoven-enjoying, wine-sipping, educated Germans that was directed against their fellow esucated white skinned citizens - Deutshe Bank ?

I can only whole heartedly agree. I am half German like from my roots and been born in Germany and have been living for my whole life already there but still feel not welcomed often times and not at home. The other half of my roots is so much stronger because I have been never treated as one of them throughout my whole life almost. It was better in Uni times because again there were lots of multicultural people from all countries and people were very open to everyone however later in life this feeling again starts and you have almost no friends because you culturally just don’t fit in. Having said this I am slowly considering moving to my second home as I feel so much better over there.
I moved to Indonesia and always feel like an outsider. They are nice to my face, but you can tell they don't want me here.
Hey, Same with me what you said in total video, I'm considering to leave Germany next month.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and I'm sorry that you didn't feel well. I became a German citizen when I was a kid, so I also have an international background. I grew up in Germany from the age of 6 until 20 and spent my teenage time there.
What I can say is, that it very depends on where you are and in which social environment you are. I don't want to find excuses, but there are always that kind of people in each country who are very sceptical about "different looking people".
In the 1960's many immigrants came to Germany to find a job. They really were an absolute enrichment for the country. Not all, but many of those helpers and workers came to earn money and thought they will go back home with a backpack full of gold a few years later. Many of them didn't think that it will be necessary to focus on learning the language, assimilate, make friends with Germans, educate themselves, they anyway will return after some time. But so many ended up living there.
Still today there are immigrants who came to Germany 30+ years ago and can't speak a correct sentence in German language. They often live in neighborhoods with people of the same background, if their kids need help at school, some parents can't even talk to a teacher. Some of those kids fail at school, get criminal and do on :( I don't want to generalize, but in my city this was the case with immigrants from turkey or other arabic countries. So if at some point crimes were not committed by "white Germans" only, but also more and more by people of other races, people assume that all immigrants or different looking people are criminal, too. Of course this should be an example, and Germany overall is a safe place, but there are areas in Berlin ruled by Arab gangs in which even a German doesn't feel safe anymore. So this splits up the way how people think about someone looking different.
Germans often at first are sceptical, but once you have a German friend, you have him for your entire life.
When my family moved with me as a kid to Germany (from communist Eastern Europe) my parents even began to speak only German at home to learn the language as quick as possible. We often spent our free time with German families who saw that we tried hard, so they always were kind and helped us. We showed the will to assimilate at any time. And I never had the problem that I felt not welcome or strange.
It really depends on the circumstances.
If I would move to let's say Italy, I also would prepare well, learn the language and then I'd move into a really Italian environment with literally no immigrants around. But that's me and not everyone thinks like that.
So this is I guess a really International problem you can find in many European countries. Check Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Bruxelles.... there are very similar problems.
As long immigrants don't assimilate and learn the language, there will be always problems around this topic. It will split the people and their minds.
Very well said
Jeder Mensch ist fast überall auf dieser Welt ein Ausländer, egal wohin er geht. Die Heimat im Herzen aber offen für die Welt, das ist was zählt und euch weiterbringt.
@@Hurgardet BS...
Arab gangs is the reason
Swiss and Austrian sound a little silly but so do most dialects inside Germany.
Overall we like the Swiss and Austrians. Yung Hurn Falco and Aditoro are goats.
what i can say to all of you: Even as a german (born here, white) I feel like an outsider. All my life. Germans are just not warm hearted.
Everytime I was abroad, no matter where actually, i felt more loved and welcomed than ever in Germany. Even compared to my own family.
I would like to move to another country, but my awesome loving partner does not really want to. He likes his workplace way too much. I might go alone one day.
Lucky German passport has 192 visa-free entry
Have you considered moving to a town that borders another country?
@@chrisddr3 definitely. Also I really think, living in a tourist area is best for people who are very open minded.
You are always an outsider if you do not do something against it. Let me give you some examples: A Swiss friend told me he became a member of the Freiwillige Feuerwehr when he moved to another village. We became integrated in our little village in Germany only when our kids started to go to the Kindergarten. When I lived in Switzerland people started to greet me in the streets of our village only after I was introduced as a member of a local club. I think this kind of things happens everywhere once you are becoming an adult.
I always say to foreigners that being a member of a local club is the key to be an insider of the community. Especially in villages.
My goal is to save some money and in a max of 2 years from now or probably lesser I am moving back home no matter how poor my country is there I have a home so basically rent-free and also the weather is better. Germany isn't for everyone :)
You have to be cold and thick skin to live in Germany. It is not for everyone indeed.

I am sorry that you had such a bad experience in Germany. It is often not so easy to bring people together who have different expectations and different cultural backgrounds. Sometimes it works great because both sides understand how to approach each other and sometimes there is a problem because one or both sides are unwilling to compromise or even understand how the other thinks and feels.

@@sabineblume5341 I think you have a point! I think as soon as people get to know you as a person and like what they see, or see that you and them have something in common, then they'd open up, I think. From my many foreign friends I've gathered over the past couple of years I got the feedback that some stereotypes about germans actually seem to be true. One among them that they seem to be rather detail-oroented and like to get to the bottom in a conversation. So simply exchanging niceties in everyday life might not get you far enough. They might need a deeper look into your personality to start to bond. And the things that @Sabine mentioned seem like a good place to start.
Then again, I have spent the last ten years either living or at least working in Berlin, and that kind of doesn't count. Berlin is not Germany 😂😂😂
@@sumimaind well, most foreigners, statistically, develop their own social groups and indeed don’t have much will to integrate. Of course that flawed picture doesn’t apply to every individual but it works for enough, to paint the picture. And also, Germans are generally very honest and hard to make friends with. I think many directly assume that it’s because they are foreigners or anything but that is unlikely, because Germans are just as rude towards other Germans.
And at least where I come from (cologne) no one cares where you are from. If you’re nice and have some deep ideas and good topics to discuss, not just boring chit chat, they will like you.
Germans are usually not very superficial people. They mostly don’t care about your looks, financial status or anything as long as you are a good and interesting person. That’s what we dislike about Americans. The fake friendliness and the superficial conversations. Looking at people as objects rather than beings
Best is to live in bigger cities where people with more cultural backgrounds are. The problem with (some) Germans or Europeans is, that they feel superior/look down on other cultures which sometimes lead to the mocking cliches/dumb racism. There are people who are (or think they are) open-minded, that haven't witnessed such things, and say there is no such thing. It's quite hard to understand the problem if you don't have friends or a life-partner who is foreign. It often just takes seconds of dumb gestures or faces. It hurts, people, it really does. Please take it seriously.
I would probably suggest people to live in Berlin because how international it is, And I almost moved there before deciding to go back😉

Wow this is how I've been feeling. I'm an aruban living in the Netherlands. I'm alone here. I've been living here for 7 years.
Coming from a country with friendly and outgoing people I was always very sociable and outgoing. But everything has changed since moving herr. In the beginning I was friendly, greeting strangers and was trying to make friends. But my intentions were not well received by the dutch. I've seen and felt how that light of mine has slowly dimmed over the years. To make matters worse I now have social anxiety because of this. It's because I've been trying so hard to fit in that I felt I couldn't be myself. This anxiety has also caused me to have some stomach problems.
I don't even recognize myself anymore after these 7 years I went from the social, warm personality girl to the girl with social anxiety. I feel like I'm not even human anymore. Like I don't have soul.
The only thing that's keeping me going is my dog and my faith. I'm thinking for a way out of here. At this point I don't care if I have to go to Pakistan for example. I just want to be surrounded by friendly, humble people who care about eachother. I wanna leave this soulless place and back into humanity.

Going to canada Was the better move for ya
@@Snowyblazer oof. I heard it depends on the city. My online friends from Germany are so sweet!
I'm also trans so it's scary. I'm Iranian but I've been told I'm white passing
Your Soul saved you the headache.
Organised gangstalking is their feed
Omg i love your smile
I love their remote towns in Saarland but The humiliation you feel at their airport as tourist can’t be described in words. As if the Asians are thieves and coming to steal something from them. Asians are warm and welcoming despite having less resources.
They think that you’re there to steal because their ancestors came to our lands (Africa, Asia,etc) and stole.
Well, I live in Germany almost six years. And from the very beginning I had also this feeling that I'm not welcomed, even though they need workers. I'm from East Europe and I came here to work. I didn't look for some social benefit or easy life. My intention was to live in society that will give me opportunity to have success in my life, because im my country there are lot of corruption and you need to be part of that if you wanna have a successful life. Now I unfortunstely see that I didn't come to a very good place. My country is hard to live in, but Germany is also very very hard to blend in.
In a way I feel that we newcomers came in already problematic society, divided among Germans and others. And with every new foreigner Germans are more mad and resentful. If I knew this before, I would never come, but now is hard to come back when your children started to go to school here and tried so hard to learn German. And I heard many times really hateful comments from Germans towards foreigners, especially Muslims. Sometimes I felt like real hate and passive agression. They are learned in school to be tolerant and helpful, but it's only a facade. Unfortunately, this makes that other big foreign groups are getoising themselves more and more. For example Turks made world for themselves in Germany, different than German one. Foreigners have more children, while Germans have approx one. So it means that in schools majority are foreign kids...Germans are beeing replaced in long run. And they hate it, but if you dont have kids, who will pay for your Medical costs and Pension funds, who will do all the shitty jobs?
Guess who? The foreigners. The Government know this, big companies know this. The German people also know this but are mad seeing what happens and how they are flooded with immigrants. The thing is, without immigrants Germany would collapse. They simply don't have manpower to be successful in this capitalistic world.
It's only my opinion. I thank God that I dont hate anyone. Yet.
While there are some problems it goes both ways.
you know why they dont have children? because they are selfish. they want to f*** around till theyre 35 and choose career and themselves over everything else. the poorest people in the country have most children. this tells you that it isnt a money issue. the foreigners don't only do the shitty jobs. the country where most foreign docs come from is actually syria. the hospitals are full with arab docs. the mint courses are full with foreigners. but they blame every single problem on foreigners when they themselves have their share in it. who created that excessive bureacracy that is paralyzing everything? the foreigners? who has made germany energy dependent on russia? the foreigners? germany is getting poorer and poorer. but why? because they dont invent anything and everything that was invented 5 decades ago can be produced much cheaper outside of germany. is this the guilt of the foreigners?
Totally agree!
The best comment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
3:09 It's sad that you always felt that way. It also depends on the city and state you live in. For example, the experience in Munich is good, and I don't feel that as often as in Halle/Saale.
I also don't look like a withe european, but I was born and live in Germany and I feel german like all the other Germans I know.
Well, that's generally the norm in all Nation States. If you don't look like the natives, have a different sounding name, have a foreign religious belief and or have an different/alien culture you will always be seen as a foreigner or immigrant even tho you speak their language proficiently and also adapted/integrated fairly well who also has citizenship of the country you immigrated to. In my personal view: best countries to immigrate is to well, ''Immigrant nations'' such as Canda, USA, Australia, Brazil, Argentina etc... but even in those countries you will be categorized such as: White, Black, Brown, Asian, Mixed etc... So no country is perfect for immigration but some countries are better than others and I think the better ones are these ''Immigrant Nations''.
Brazil and Argentina barely have any immigration at all and Germany has more than the US.

True
I am deeply sorry for anybody who doesn't feel welcome in Germany or feels like an outsider. My experience was not like this at all, but that's probably just because I'm a "white" German and have always lived in that culture.
Not at all. I got treated like trash by my colleagues. Unwelcomed etc. now I have such bad anxiety I can't even speak German anymore even to order a coffee.
Beye beye and good luck!
I came in germany 9 December from Africa as refugee resettlement by unchr submitted my file to germany 🇩🇪 I don't know much more please help me what I will meet by Germans peolpe and I have to start by 18th January 2022 integration course 😀

@@cdla14 Hola Cristian en que parte de alemanes vives ? Es lamentable pero Creo que todos coincidimos con ella !!!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry for you having to handle the gaslighting that you get in the comments. It's why I always LOVE to visit Europe, but could never live there. I am of mixed race, but present as white and my wife is Asian. We are both Canadian, from Toronto, which IS home. It's not perfect, but there are SO many immigrants here (over 50%) that we always feel at home. The same as all of your friends are of immigrant backgrounds. Most people here are immigrants. I feel that countries in Europe have such long histories, that it is much harder for them to accept that a person of colour won't necessarily be drinking beer, watching football and eating pork like they do...maybe for some generations. We've been very lucky here as Canada and Toronto, although not perfect by a long shot, are MUCH younger places and have less of an ancient culture and therefore can change more easily.
It's not gaslighting. She's a foreigner, demanding that she be treated as if she's an ethic German. It's no different than a German immigrating the Indonesia and attempting to live with the Asmat tribe, and expecting they all look at her as the same, even though she's clearly in need of sunscreen and a top. She's not from Germany. She doesn't look like a German. She speaks the language with an accent and grammar mistakes. . . yes, people will look at her as not being part of the dominant culture. Nothing wrong with that. She chose to live there. That she would even expect different treatment is asinine.
To treat people different because they “look different” is not okay. It’s called racism
@@austntexan To say: "well, that's how it is everywhere" is a cop out. You should be far more educated than a rural tribe. You know better, but refuse to try. This is the 21st century. Do better.
Thailand is Asia - in Thailand Europeans tend to lord it over the local people, same in Indonesia - the WORST for this are, unfortunately, German tourists, many of whom are in fact sex tourism among paedophelia is very widespread.
No one in either country has treated European people badly or made anyone feel unwelcome od made sweeping calls for exclusion of "Europeans" because of the disgusting activities engaged in by a large number of Germans who go there for sexual pleasures that are criminal in their own country. (Even more ironic, for all the racistly-tinged discourse about helping "civilized white Europeans", Ukraine has become an even bigger destination of choice for the rampant German child-sex tourism as it is ripe for the picking when it comes to sex-trafficking).
Interestingly enough for all the big tall talk and Junkers' arrogance (& NO, i m NOT stooping to claim that these warped individuals define the entire ethnicity):
@@spaceowl5957 she is the racist. Not the native, indigenous population.
First Of all I would like to thank you for making this video and sharing your opinion about the reality of Germany 🇩🇪 as many people never dare to speak about it because they think everything bad happened after WW2 but now everything has changed and they are just the best people well no they aren’t and I will share my experience
I was born in a rich oil Arab country called Kuwait 🇰🇼 but Ivan from Iran 🇮🇷 originally ( Southern Iranian Persian Muslim Sunni ) I came to Germany at 18 years old now I am 22 and I came in September of 2018 now it is 2022 when income to Germany I didn’t speak a single word in German and Germans would speak and I wouldn’t understand anything but I learned it from hearing them
My first impression when I came to Germany I actually came there at 2017 as a tourist with my family but my first impression was total fascination everything was so greatcoats awesome and great there are greens everywhere everything is green everywhere there are trees and the Germans all have blonde hair and blue eyes and white skin just like the actors in Hollywood movies and the so called ( aryan race ) I was mind blown wow so great
But as the time passed I realized i didn’t actually enter heaven but in reality I entered hell 🔥 yes hell it self everything in Germany is hell 🔥 the people, the country, the history, the food, the weather and everything
You see we humans have a sixth sense and before I realized what was wrong I already had a very very strong sixth sense feeling from the beginning that was telling me this is a bad place and bad people leave from here but I was too stupid to understand specially that my father has sent me there and I just blindly follow my father
I already spoke perfect English and thought to my self that the entire west is just like America 🇺🇸 and I wanted to be in America but little did I know Germany has nothing to do with America they hate America and the American culture and have nothing kn common with it
You see in the media the Germans act nice and smiley and everything but from the inside when you live with them everyday you only see one thing and one thing only and that is arrogance
They are extremely arrogant people beyond your imagination and they think and believe that they are racially superior to other people specially if you don’t have blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin I am Persian I have white skin ( but gets tan with the sun) and black hair and brown eyes and tall and I also have blonde cousins but you see the germany will hate you if you are slightly different
I still think people don’t understand Germans they think Germans only hate you if you are very different ( NOOO) they don’t like you even if you are slightly different from them
Like you can have white skin and blonde hair but if you are Muslim they will hate you if you are American and can’t speak German they will hate you they will always find a way it is like they try to combine between big ego and unity which never happens !!!
I have always been an introverted my entire life and never seeked to make friends yet I felt there was something wrong with me because if I try to make friends I do make them yet in Germany I felt something weird and then I realized it is actually their problem not mine !!!
I make western friends so easily and so fast yet in Germany they act as if I want something from them the funny thing is I never wanted to make German friends nor ever will as I am only here to study and I thank god that I don’t need anything from these people o genuinely feel so bad for those who have no choice other than being in this country like their life must be hell but don’t worry karma will get them
God will get Germans just like how Heidi’s in WW1 and WW2 because now Russia is coming for Germany and Berlin just like 1945 the Russians 🇷🇺 will never forget the 27 million dead Germany is going down the gas prices are hell all companies are losing money the Germans are getting the result of their stupid personality and stupid attitude
You see Germans are very arrogant and introverted that’s why they have no connection with the real world and they are disconnected from everyone therefore they have no real friends or Allies France hates them England hates them Italy hates them and America hates them if Germans were smart they would integrate with other nations but no they decided to hide in their country and act racist against everyone else and try to attack everyone else like a stupid pig that eventually gets what he asks for
I have determined to leave Germany long time and I will leave it soon because I genuinely believe that 2022 will not end before something real bad happens in Germany I believe I will leave because shit is going to be really bad here and I am happy that they will get what they derserve I don’t want to speak German again in my life I will forget it and remove it from my heart and even if I see germans in the outside world and they need help and ask who speaks German I will refuse to speak German and I don’t want to make German friends even though now things are getting bad in Germany and they are opening up to foreigners I still don’t want to make friends with them even if germans give me millions of Euros to stay here because they need jobs I refuse too it is not my problem to bea psychologist and fix these racist people that’s stupid and dumb the best solution is to just leave them alone and let them handle their own failure by themselves because the best revenge is to leave and I call everyone to do the same with these racist nazis
I had countless of racist experiences DONT let me start with the staring in the streets just people staring at you or an old bch telling me to wage a mask „IN THE STREET“ when nobody is or the daily racism in the university where a professor literally ignores you as if you don’t exist or another professor who the only attention gives you is keep telling you „hey did understand my German if not then ask me a question „ very very racist place or a professor calling you „ein ausländischer Student“ instead of just saying student ( he has blue hair so yeah that’s a liberal saying that ) they are all racist or having a very loser loser neighbour with his loser wife and future loser two children who have nothing to do other than annoy you because you are a student and they literally don’t work and get no money and simply hate on you for being better than them
MORAL OF THE STORY IS Germans are very arrogant and let me die if I become bumble with these people NEVER NEVER NEVER be humble with Germans that’s what they taught me they only respect me if I am arrogant against them will fuck them and fuck their Nazi laws let them have fun with Russian winter let’s see if arrogant tigers stand a chance against lions
hate is not the answer, and what happened to the german from the russians was horrible, hundreds of thousands of innocent german woman and children were rapped and killed. did you know that? its not talked about in history because the winners never want to look bad. What happened to Germany in ww2 was horrible. My grandfather is half german and irish, very quite guy, fought in the Korean war.
Well, Germany is not for everyone. Germans tend to be more formal than heartily friendly. They also tend not to sugarcoat their opinions. Getting close to a German person usually is not very easy. Germans tend to keep their friendships for a long time. Expats often make friendships fast and leave fast. Germans tend to keep their friendships from kindergarden on.And Germans have strict conducts of behavior. They do not like you not to be punctual. They are not the people you get easily close to. They worry to bother you when they ask you out. So, you must show a lot of initative if you want to make German friends and it is very time consuming.
And Germany is very different to the USA. The USA has a different language and it is a nation of immigrants. There are also positive aspects in German history - we have great classical musicians such as Bach or Bethoven, we have had great philosophers such as Kant or inventors like Liebig. And if you do not speak the language, you will have difficult time everywhere you move. If you go abroad, never expect the red carpet but more the skeptisim. Somehow, do not expect to be treated like the best friend but more like the outsider from whom the people do not know what to expect. So, you must somehow convince them from you - this is always the case. In the US, they are used to having immigrants, they are a nation of immigrants. And there are foreigners who do make German friends. But it is not easy. You must put a lot of effort into it. But then, German friendships do not tend to be superficial.

Dass deutsche verschlossen und total introvertiert sind stimme ich dir aus Erfahrung zu aber mir der Beschreibung hast du schon ordentlich übertrieben , aber ich glaube das ganze hast du aus Wut und Frustration geschrieben, Gott sei mit dir und ich hoffe du findest dein Glück in einem anderen bzw wärmeren land
"they think and believe that they are racially superior to other people specially if you don’t have blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin"
Only like 15% of germans are blonde, this makes no sense. Yea you don't understand germans at all. You're an introvert in a country where it's hard to make friends. You lived in the country for 5 years, never tried to make friends and curse them behind their back. Seek help.
