I don't know anon, you tell me

I know that feel. Just gotta force it bro, until you've got it. It's usually easier than you think.

I didn't really know how to "use" a knife properly until I was maybe 16. Didn't know how to even tie my fucking shoelaces until 18. I don't know how this shit happens but it seems some of us are just coddled too much and never learn basic things until late.

Seriously, what were your parents doing?

How does this even happen?

Even apes learn to use tools. they're not even sentient.

I don't know mate. I'm >>28954886 and I was raised by a single mother who was very kind but not strict about anything other than school. So I was basically allowed to get by without learning several basic things like tying shoelaces, cutting food with a knife, cooking things, using appliances, cleaning, etc.

I've taught myself many of these things in the years since but it took a while to get over the hump. I don't resent my mother as I had a very good home life as a child and adolescent (though bullied relentlessly at school). It is a bit strange that I never learned to do so many things until I was older but it wasn't really my fault. I wasn't pressured to do so.

I still don't know how to do certain things like riding a bike, tying a tie, building things, etc. I suppose a lot of it in my case comes from not having a father, and therefore not having a hands-on masculine figure to teach me how to be independent.

>tfw my father worked in construction and I can barely put together any furniture that's not from Ikea.
Tying a tie is easy, there are videos on jewtube, I had to learn that shit for college.
