Help!!!!!!! I'm totally confused. Which ones are correct? Native speakers say these differently. Which ones are correct, grammatically? Neither of us is from here. / Neither of us are from here. Neither one of us is perfect. / Neither one of us are perfect. Neither of us is ready for this. / Neither of us are ready for this.

The first of each pair is correct. Use "neither" as a singular noun. But you're correct, in speech native speakers often use these incorrectly.

Neither of us is from here. Neither one of us is perfect. Neither of us is ready for this. The above is correct grammatically, but in all languages the rules are often relaxed in conversation. Here's a good example. You'll hear both versions as you mentioned.

Neither of us is from here. Neither one of us is perfect. Neither of us is ready for this. Important: “neither” used only when comparing two subjects. “None” refers to any number of things, most normally three or more.
