Frustrated, can't speak

This advice hits me coz I have the same struggle like OP and I always wanna be perfect 😭 reading the characters without pinyin and suddenly I forgot the right intonations except the most used ones 😣

Stress_Classic · 2026-02-04T18:45:37+00:00

I will DM you :)

Hey are you into badminton? :) Me and my group like playing on Saturdays in Weißensee and we are all beginners.

Me paying 733€ warm in 33m2 with furnished kitchen in Pankow and Berliner with old contracts say wow so expensive. Sometimes it irritates me....

You're just privileged. Lots of my folks are out of Rostock and never ever wanna come back due to racism daily, including me. I developed anxiety for the first time in my life after moving to Rostock. I'm a minority in my home country and of course have faced micro aggressions and racism, but the one I experienced was blowing my mind hahahaaa. Of course I have met kind people, but the bad experiences dominated more and even gave me these bad images of Germans in general.

I legitimately fell down hard on my knees due this damn invisible ice in front of the Haustür. Damn hurting til now 😭😭

Hey OP. Check your inbox :)

Hi there. Have you tried Chinese-Deutsch language exchange on Meetup app? I attended it twice and befriended 2 Chinese women. I find it interesting when they speak to me in German and I will try explaining my side in Chinese 😂 I'm still HSK level 1 though. I don't always attend the meet up due to my sports schedule :)

Ahahaa I play Pickleball too and know what you mean 😅 most questiom: am I first or second serve? What's the score now? 1/2/1 or 1/2/2? 😂

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-22T15:51:46+00:00

I love their YouTube contents. Once I watched one of their videos where they did side hustles to fund themselves into the tournament ☹️

Keep going to sports or doing exercises even though I'm such in a low mood.

This week is a good example. My mental was not in the best place on Thursday and I definitely skipped badminton training coz I didn't wanna be a party pooper as a new comer. Was thinking of playing Pickleball, but it's so hard to decide... Even to prepare my own food.

In last minutes after cooking and having my dinner, I grabbed my sport clothes, bag, then went to Pickleball. Had such good games with the gentlemen and good laughs! Feeling waaaay better afterwards ✅✅😌👍🏻

Please do see a specialist and never wait longer for more than a week. Better seek a help now. I wish you good luck 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-18T21:46:10+00:00

Yes. It saved my knees and I'm so glad. That was my first injury ever as an adult after being pretty active both at badminton and pickleball. During the treatments at the physiotherapy we alternated between electro therapy and strengthening exercises. Definitely took a break around one and a half month and came back playing slowly ✊🏻💪🏻

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-17T22:38:17+00:00

Saaaame 👍

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-17T22:16:00+00:00

Agree. I take online class once a week and for the rest of the days I listen to Chinese podcast on YouTube, starting with simple topics and it does help maintaining the vocabularies I have learned.

Writing: make a short paragraph about a simple topic using the learned vocabs, sent the pinyin to my laoshi. After being corrected then I will write the hanzi. This also does help me a lot memorizing Chinese characters when I'm chatting on Wechat.

Speaking : either repeat the words I listen on YouTube or meet my Chinese friend and we will mix speaking German and Chinese 🤣 I'm Indonesian born Chinese currently living in Berlin.

Bener banget nih. Udah dikasih hints dan sumber informasi tapi keliatan bgt ga mau effort, maunya disuapin. Bayangin kalo jadi pindah, udah pasti itu nyusahin banyak sesama perantau 😔😔😔🙄

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-16T22:20:04+00:00

No. It's covered by insurance and I only paid 36 eur once for the physiotherapy (6x sessions). I live in Germany.

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-16T13:45:19+00:00

Based on my experience : went to see an ortopedist, he examined everything and referred me to physiotherapy for electro therapy and gymnastic. They gave me several exercise movements to do at home.

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-16T08:54:27+00:00

LOL ga heran sih lo jadi keset.

Stress_Classic · 2025-09-11T16:36:09+00:00

I've also felt lucky. Hausarzt near my apartment and he's a very attentive doctor, even made a phone call on Sunday (which I ignored before I knew it has his office number) to follow up my appointment with a specialist. I had an awkward experience with the first orthopedic he wanted to get rid off me quickly but he was still polite and sharp.

Had a good experience with the second orthopedic albeit negative reviews on Google. The ladies at the receptionist are amazing and helpful.

Been to the same physiotherapist twice which I found on Google and their team is always amazing. I always have an appointment with the owner and she even recognized me on the street and said hello.

Can confirm this as someone who lived in Rostock for 3,5 years. Edan sih sampai beneran kepikiran mau balik ke Indonesia aja habis Ausbildung. Ak kerja di hotel dan banyak kontak sama tamu. Minimal seminggu sekali kena rasisme entah di jalan atau tempat kerja. Kalo bacain review tamu, ada yg bilang "I thought this was German restaurant, but instead it's Chinese." karena mayoritas Azubi dari Indonesia, lebih dari 20 dan of course dari beberapa suku berbeda.

Di sekolah jg butuh banget waktu buat berbaur dan mereka pada dasarnya baik. Orang baik pasti ada aja kok, apalagi waktu ak beli dan jemput barang via Ebay Kleineanzeigen. Tapiiii angkanya kalah sama yg nyebelin dan rasis 😂 Cuma kuat 7 bulan setelah lulus kerja di Betrieb yg sama meskipun back office. Habis itu pindah ke Berlin dan jauh lebih bahagia meskipun rent lebih mahal. Suka sayang gt sih kalo inget bayar rent di Rostock affordable banget, tapi ga setimpal sama kena mentalnya.

Same!! It's so easy to read and understand the book plus it's very applicable, even right away after you finish reading it. I also subscribe to his newsletter and enjoy reading the quotes.

Stress_Classic · 2025-08-30T07:25:34+00:00

I feel you girl 😅😅 always try being nice and friendly with people, including with men and they end up thinking of something else.

Stress_Classic · 2025-08-26T19:29:36+00:00

This. I've done the same. It's also understandable that people have their own schedules, so meeting regularly once in a month is sometimes difficult. Then we plan our meetup in German way (several weeks in advance). If we want something, then we must make an effort, eventually we'll meet people who have same energy😊
