Using chopsticks

Last evening I tried using chopsticks at a restaurant and failed! I've watched YouTube videos and have had friends hold them and demonstrate their use. But I just can't get it right!! Kudos to those who use it so deftly. I finally went back to a fork for the meal

I've given up on chopsticks too. It's just too difficult. I'd probably starve if I had to use them all the time! lol

I don't feel like giving up and an tempted to give it a try every time if I see them in a restaurant

@pitstop Maybe with enough practice, you'll master them. But don't starve first. lol

I can't use them either. I don't even bother with them anymore.

I cannot figure it out either. I look silly.

I'm sure I could have sent food flying across the room

I have never had any luck with chopsticks. They are a good way to starve, and so I use more Western utensils.

Using chopsticks takes some time to practice, you need to show your patience,
