I get very confused which this. People say they wrap it in the direction the pipe will turn “clockwise”, although almost all of them are putting it on counter-clockwise. is it just because its a flipped image? If the threads face away from me and I wrap the tape in the direction i will turn the fitting righty tighty/clockwise, that seems to be incorrect. hopefully someone can give me something concrete to understand this with.

Think of it like you are holding the pipe in your left hand. Your right hand holds the tape roll. Hold the loose end of tape on the pipe with your left thumb and wind it over the top the direction you would swing a wrench to tighten the pipe.
