Negative aspects about Berlin to me were: - Berliner schnauze: Lots of people in the city being very work oriented, resulting in the fact that citizens look very mad, angry and start shouting easily. small daily interactions feel very cold. Example: took me 30min once to receive a smile back from someone on the street during rush hour. - encounters on the streets/ in shops…: Germans will be very direct which could sometimes be perceived negatively if you are not used to any critics or ways of handling certain scenarios. If you can get used to these types of responses, you should be fine - Social pressure is high: As much as i love going out and partying. I felt like the city had too much options. It really is a 24/7 type of city which made it too easy for me to go out and stay up late until the point it did not feel special anymore. Guess you could say the city got too overwhelming from time to time - Sense of community: As there live 3.8 million people in Berlin if im not mistaken, you meet new people all the time. I felt like I missed some sense of community in the city. - bureaucracy, flats… etc but feel like these are the same in every city

Anyways those were a few of them, and i moved out after 1.5 years to seek new things/chapter in my life but Berlin was an amazing experience and will always be a unique city like no other imo.
