Assalamu-alaikum,
I am by born Muslim and left handed person. I write with left hand, use computer mouse in left hand and do many more daily life things with left hand (a lefty- people says). I eat with my right hand. But I cannot eat such foods that require fork, spoon with my right hand. I have to use my left hand.

I have trouble holding pen, spoon etc. and maneuvering them with right hand. I want to know what sharia says about eating for people like me (a left-handed person).

Jazāk Allāhu Khayran

To answer this we need to check first whether using a spoon is lawful at all! See for example Is there a consensus that eating with a knif and fork as in western culture is unlawful – Sassir Aug 15 '22 at 00:19
