I do the bunny ear method and cannot figure out the other method no matter how hard I try.

I too can only tie them using the bunny method.

No, I learned how to tie a bow eventually but I have absolutely never been able to make a normal, symmetrical one. I tie the first side with the loop on top and the free end underneath it as it should be, but the second side always ends up with the loop on the bottom and the free end on top.

I took a little longer to learn than other kids, but I did learn. My least favorite teacher at the time (disliked her quite a bit, actually) taught me. A good lesson that knowledge is knowledge no matter where it comes from.

I was never taught how to tie my shoes, but now that I'm 24, I'm not going to bother.

I can, but I don't like to. I prefer to double knot my shoes and slip them on and off like slippers. The ones I've got now have elastic laces.

It took me until the age of 10 to tie my shoes, still can't tie a necktie!

I had people try to teach me, but I finally understood how when I was 12 or something (a friend tirelessly showed me). Before that I had velcro shoes or ones with a zipper.

Well, it were ankle boots with a zipper on the side.
