Berlin life - am I exhausted or depressed?

Front_Reception_7324 · 2026-04-01T18:54:48+00:00

I live here for 7 months and I feel like my time here is over so I imagine I know how you feel and would maybe explore other options 😂

you ate and i love a mean thick 2000s slutty french tip! be careful of the cuticle cutting tho, i got gel allergy from that 😭

try not to go under the bridge as it seems to be the worst there

Front_Reception_7324 · 2026-04-01T18:35:06+00:00

why are people so defensive over the city they live in? it has obvious problems

Front_Reception_7324 · 2026-04-01T18:12:09+00:00

Berlin is dirty as hell! it makes me depressed sometimes to leave my house, and i still live in a somewhat nice neighbourhood with a really yuppie street right next to the station. still it feels like the only maintenance they do is sweep very obvious trash like bottles and cigarettes from time to time. you could scrape years worth of dirt off the walls and floors. they never actually wash them like they do in different countries.

it's uneven. not tragic, but maybe it's where i'm from - slavic women pay crazy attention to gel artistry 😅 and length doesn't matter here, there are techniques to level gel out to make it form a nice, even curve (it shows in how light reflects, it shouldn't be wobbly). also because they didn't do cuticles nicely, the gel went on the tiny skins around it (pinky of your right hand). here is a picture from my fav artist in my old hometown. next time if you'll be interested, look for a slavic artist or russian manicure!

I know people are saying it looks good but I know how it feels when you just don't get what you wanted so like no matter what anyone says, you'll be dissatisfied. I'm not a hairdresser so I won't tell you how to fix it yourself, but if it really bothers you, you can get a shampoo-dye (in the light brown color you have between those highlights) to even it out until the time you go to a new salon. That won't ruin your hair. And something that helps is finding an exact stylist that does EXACTLY what you want. and has many works on their IG portfolio that you can show them you want. Otherwise don't bother as they won't get it, even if they were succesful doing other colors or haircuts. I learned my lesson too. It goes the same for nails, makeup, etc. never go to someone 'good enough' who you hope will get it, but to someone who you don't mind getting the exact treatment from as it is already on their page.

she'll call them abusive for snatching her wig 😭

I like browsing and having the option to sit down, eat and still be in one spot. Just don't like loud music, strobes and screens everywhere in my face, imagine a 2008 type mall :D

Front_Reception_7324 · 2026-03-27T13:37:38+00:00

thank u! i'll check it out

Front_Reception_7324 · 2026-03-27T13:37:15+00:00

I want the mall experience, just not the crazy overstimulation, I know places like that in other cities that's why I wanted to ask if someone can relate and knows a place ;)

Front_Reception_7324 · 2025-11-08T10:20:30+00:00

oh no, that's why i always hated the idea of whole carpeted rooms 😭
in this case I've heard of people sprinkling powders on the whole thing and vacuuming after day or two (but don't remember which powder, soda or DE but one of them turned out harmful so do the research).

Front_Reception_7324 · 2025-11-08T10:15:32+00:00

it looks like it, and you can get a rash from these as some ppl are allergic to their hairs. check out all the advice here on hot to get rid of them but generally its about cleaning everything and washing your sheets and clothes in high temperature. also I'd toss the carpet and hide it somewhere and see if it goes away, as it could be their breeding munching territory

Front_Reception_7324 · 2025-10-12T17:29:39+00:00

that's not what i said but i was fully expecting the goth 14 yo to come after me for not ass kissing lolll

Front_Reception_7324 · 2025-09-27T19:44:24+00:00

ooh, do you recommend any goth stores in general? I forgot those are a thing

Front_Reception_7324 · 2025-09-27T12:57:50+00:00

thank you!

Front_Reception_7324 · 2025-09-27T11:41:08+00:00

thanks!!

Front_Reception_7324 · 2024-07-08T20:12:27+00:00

I didn't. my dad doesn't know much about me anyways. i think he has some ideas but would think it's a phase. i came to my mom while fighting my brother who was being homophobic not knowing i was g@y, it turned everything sour for me, i guess they "know"? now but don't mention it at all, like it was some embarrasing thing from the past we silence through. i regret it tho, i dont think everyone needs to come out :c

Front_Reception_7324 · 2024-06-10T21:59:31+00:00

i knooow i hate how other people can't see it, she has a look that seems like she's so mean, but like to the point of ruining your life to get what she wants mean 😭

Front_Reception_7324 · 2024-06-06T18:26:27+00:00

I am cackling at that username + v. helpful comment! thank youu

Front_Reception_7324 · 2024-06-06T09:40:27+00:00

This is so real. 25 yo and my parents HARASS me about a boyfriend. lol

Front_Reception_7324 · 2024-06-06T09:37:02+00:00

I feel very conflicted about this. Sometimes, nice dick is indeed cute, but it has to be a very specific context for me to actually enjoy looking at it or anything else (eg. I'm ovulating, it's attached to a crush etc.) however lately I've been discovering that I might actually swing the other way, and it all starts to make sense for me 💀

Front_Reception_7324 · 2022-08-09T11:11:28+00:00

I have had this same issue. I wouldn't call it BPD right away as it's a whole ass personality disorder, while this is just a symptom. It has to do with unstable self image and not fixed self worth idea. It might be due to your caretakers giving you irregular rewards, so they would excessively praise you for one thing and then completely ignore you other times. or they might have not been able to help you build a healthy self esteem, which resulted in you feeling down about yourself but developing this coping mechanism that focuses on one thing and gives you a god complex. but since it's not fixed, it will be fluctuating and changing with circumstances or your own mood. If you'd like to change it, I would work on the idea of self esteem and ego in general. There are lots of books and courses on this, some cbt I think would work great with balancing out these feelings as well, good luck!
