I learned them from a Chinese friend at her (parents) family hiuse when we were mid-late teens.
I got very good at them, but it's been while. I just remembered I'd often ask for them from my then local Chinese take out place in the 2010's.

My best story was in College (East Village) a mix of us white, one Latina and Chinese friends went down to Chinatown not that far away, maybe 8 of us.
We sat at a round table with a lazy Susan, except when we had a Big pot of soup packed with ?glass noodles, veggies, and maybe meat.

I was already quite proficient but I think was the only Left-hander, and had to watch my elbow with the Right-hander to my left, bc my elbow would sometimes go too wide! 😄

Off hand I can't tell you how I hold mine.
