i don't even know how to tie my own shoes, my mom always just did it for me whenever i got a new pair of shoes and it never fell apart. and before you post it yes i watched that spongebob episode, i watched so many tutorials in general but i just can't do the loop part at all. i think im just retarded or something, i have been sheltered my whole life, mom does EVERYTHING for me, even when I really want to do something, she prefers to do it her self instead of letting me learn, i know this sounds like a made-up problem, but being one your mid 20s and not knowing how do anything at all feels so ugh…

it sounds like you're trying to learn the method #1, which is what most people use
I can't do it either

have you tried method #2?
it's what I use, though it's a bit embarrassing since someone told me once that I tie my shoes like a child

Tell her to take your virginity so you don’t post here again

the worst thing is that you are too reliant on your parent, without them the world will eat you without any mercy.

What stops you from learning on your own?
>>298409
Most people use method 1, not 2? The world is out of balance

My mum is like that too. It's awful having your freedom and maturity stifled. I hope you know that no matter how hard she insists you don't do something, you still have the freedom to do it. I know conflict makes it harder though. You should practice things like cooking while she's out of the house.
By the way, the song in the spongebob episode doesn't actually make sense, so you're not dumb for not getting it.

literally my mom, i tried countless times over the years, but she insists on doing everything for me, not like i have no urge to learn how to take care of my self.

It's so comfy being a NEET you receive everything for free never need to learn something

Absolutely correct. NEETing engenders the feeling of childish bliss and levity, it cannot be matched by the insignificant victories of adulthood.

I asked a kid on the playground to show me how to tie my shoelaces when I was 6 years old and I still do it the same way today

I know from experience that it's difficult, but try to say no and be proactive.

Yeah, no offense but if you can't tie your shoes at 25 years old you may actually be retarded, have you tried applying for disability? You may not be diagnosed with anything, but you can definitely get disability cash, foodstamps, and free housing, just for being stupid, if you live in the 1st world

Were you also not allowed to go outside as a child and early teenager because your caretakers feared something harmful will happen to you? or you will end up with a bad company?

not OP, but I was, and it makes me think: what kind of parent shelters their child like this?
my peers weren't sheltered like this, and I know because I had a few friends as a child, and their parents encouraged going outside and doing new stuff, while with mine there was always an investigation
>who are you going to?
>where do his parents work?
>what are his grades?
etc.
it was only my mom, now that I think of it
I can understand being worried about one's child, but this almost seems like deliberately trying to inhibit your child from learning about the world, to keep him believing the fantasy you weave
I'm beginning to spin out, so rant over
