It is all prefences. If it feels normal to you, then it is normal. Everyone has different prefences.

You're more practical, and they're more trained, maybe.,
My dad was one of 13 kids. He eats with good manners, but nobody really cared that he ate with his knife in his left hand. Who had time for that (at least, that's what I figure).
My mother was first gen British-American and I, an only child. You better believe I was taught to eat food with food on the fork in the right hand, transfer the fork to the left to cut, and back to the right to eat.
Nowadays, it's kind of a wonder that kids eat home, and if at home, not in front of the TV, enough to mind their manners.
Eat however the heck you want.
But when you go to a formal dinner,
you might want to do the switch-up thing.
They don't spend money on linen napkins for you to look out of place or anything. That's just the way that is.

If you are right handed, it would be typical for you to have the fork in your right hand...that's the one you'll pick up and bring to your mouth...
Knife in left or right hand doesn't matter...even those righties that cut with their right hand, typically put the knife down, pick up the fork and eat their their right...
You just eliminated a step...some people do that...

Don't listen to your friend you can eat like whatever you want. I take the fork with my left because I'm left handed. If I were right handed would take it with my right. The rules about eating with which hand is nonsense.

I think that's normal, I'm left handed to write, brush my teeth and eat. For everything else I use my right "side", for example, I brush my hair and play the guitar like a right handed person would.

i think it's exceptional, no doubt thats the problem with your friends. Because they can't do it, they try to make you feel inadequent.
Try eating with Chinese sticks, if you can, you are most definitely exceptional.
