@undertherainjp can you show me how you hold them then please

I’m having breakfast now, so I can show you my way. I think it’s a little like hold a pen. And you should cross them not separate them. The cross point is like a point you can exert forces on each other.
Ha, but I’m Taiwanese not Japanese. I’m not sure if they use the chopsticks by the same way.

I think your way is correct.
1) separate chopsticks
2)hold the upper stick with your index finger and middle finger.
3)hold the other stick on your ring finger.

yeah you put your middle finger between the two chopsticks in the first one

I feel kind of forced to put my middle finger between the two chopsticks because if I don't then the first chopsticks falls off

@Hautzi It’s not “me” and it’s not a good manner to put it into the two. This person in the pics isn’t doing that either. It’s outside of chopsticks.
