To my great shame, I cannot use chopsticks. Just cant do it. I love Asian food, but the meatwads that I call hands cannot fathom the operation of chopsticks.
I am that guy that everyone who goes out for Asian food is embarrassed of when he politely but firmly asks for a fork.

I couldn't manage chopsticks for most of my life until I finally went to Thailand for the first time 10 years ago. I thought I'd be fine since I was told they use a fork and spoon for everything, which is mostly true. But when I went for breakfast at a noodle hut on the side of the road one morning, I was surprised to see only chopsticks available, not a fork in sight. So I opened youtube on my phone, typed in "how to use chop sticks", and managed to fumble my way through finishing the bowl. Now it's second nature
The key is to keep the bottom stick straight and resting on your fingers, it doesn't move. You only move the top stick when you're grabbing something
