Is it normal to not know how to tie a knot(on anything), or ride a bike?

Ever since I was little, I always wore velcrow shoes and always used training wheels for my bike. My two cousins are younger than me and know how two ride motorbikes.

Is It Normal?

  • I never showed an interest in riding bikes when I was young. It always baffled and annoyed me how some people at school would make fun of me for not knowing how to ride one, I just don't see what the big deal is with them.

  • I never learned to ride a bike for some reason as a child, and now I'm afraid to start learning because it'll possibly make me look silly.
    I also can't swim, but there is a definite reason for that: MY parents wanted me to wear a swimsuit and nothing else to swim, and I wanted to wear shorts and a shirt over it. Not because I don't like how I look, but I don't like when people comment on it. As in I want to go swiming, not go listening to "OMG, ze's pale!" "How did you get this way?!" and a genuinely conerned "You know, your ribs should not stick out that much, you need to go eat something!".

  • I was a slow learner. I wanted to be able to:

    (a) Tie my shoelaces
    (b) Tie a necktie
    (c) Tie a bowtie
    (d) Ride a bike
    (e) Whistle
    (f) Blow a bubble gum bubble
    (g) Tie a load of knots
    (h) Make the wood pigeon sound with my hand
    (i) Blow smoke rings
    (j) Use a blade of grass as a reed for a hand instrument
    (k) Do yoyo tricks
    (l) Skate
    (m) Do the really loud whistle with fingers in mouth

    Of the thirteen, I still can't do three of them. :/

    • Pffft, I can't even do six of them, never mind three :O! That's just under half of them D:! Although, in my defense, I've never tried to tie a bowtie or blow smoke rings:/.

      • The two you mentioned are two of the ones I can't do, even though I once had a job that required me to wear a bow-tie. :/
