I've always used right-handed scissors as these are simply the default, but a year ago I bought proper left-handed scissors (one general purpose and one for fabric) and now after almost 40 years of using the wrong type of scissor I can't imagine ever suffering those again. You can use the wrong scissors, but you're constantly compensating and getting a cramped hand in return. It makes a huge difference.
