Scissors are inherently either right-handed or left-handed by design. If you use right-handed scissors in your left hand the natural direction of the pressure your fingers exert will push the shears **away** from each other instead of pushing them together like in your right hand.
  
If you want to use scissors with your left hand you need to use left-handed scissors, whether or not the left hand is your dominant one matters little.
