    For the longest time, I found them impossible: Then, late one night, it just fell into place, and now I can eat almost everything with them...within reason. Sometimes I even use them instead of normal silverware---easier to clean.

    So...how good are you at eating with chopsticks?

    I can eat with them decently but far from expertly - but it does take me about three times as long to complete the meal as when I use silverware.

    Decent. I was never formally "taught" at a super-young age to use them, but I picked it up as I grew up. Being half-Korean it was hard to avoid when visiting my grandparents and whatnot.

    I can use them, but it takes me a while. I usually avoid them for that reason.

    I'm terrible at using them lol! I'm a fairly clumsy person, so I have trouble with a lot of things that take precision. It's fun to try using them, though.

    I can use them well enough not to starve, but if given the choice, will reach for the forks, instead.

    I'm absolutely awful. It hurts my fingers because I always end up getting them stuck between the two chopsticks.

    Oh my God i remember the 90's Rocko's Modern Life on Nickelodeon when Heffer stabs the food with his chopsticks.

    I tried it on soups. It didn't work. :bang:

    Chopsticks! They're a lot of fun to use once in a while, and I can eat with them, but I'm not very good.

    I have actually never tried them but I have pretty good fine motor control so I don't think it would be too difficult.

    I wouldn't starve with them. It does take much more time than using a fork.
