EDIT: To ensure accuracy of replies and to make sure people understand my question, I am not straight up asking how to tie the bowline. Looks to me I tie it the same as everyone else. Please read below to see if you've thought this before or know the answer. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Been doing some reviewing and was told to make sure when I make the bowline knot to make the circle in the right direction. One can make it clockwise or counter-clockwise.
I see when I make it clockwise, the tail sits outside the main loop and when done counter, the tail sits within the loop. Since the loop doesn't slip down like a slip know, I don't see any pressure on the tail when it's in the inside.
So what's up? Does going clockwise make the knot more vulnerable to getting too tight?
