>>4415546Hold one stick in the valley between your thumb and index finger, rest it on the middle bone of your ring and pinky fingers which are curled to the point of touching your palm.
Take the second stick and hold it like you would a pencil, between the tips of your thmb, indext, and middle finger.
You don't move the one resting between your fingers, it is stationary. The one you're holding like a pencil, you move like you would move a pencil while writing to simply increase or decrease the amount of space between the two sticks, once you want to pick something up, you simply move the "pencil" stick until there's enough space between two sticks to pick something up, then pull the stick back until whatever you're trying to pick up is pinched between the two sticks.
I think a lot of people overcomplicate it for themselves by thinking you have to manipulate both sticks at the same time. But the bottom one never moves so you can pretty much forget it exists once it's in your hand. I hope it helps you bro, I used to struggle with it too until I figured this part out and now I eat everything with chopsticks for shits'n'giggles.
