I'm a lefty too, and holding a right-handed guitar just felt wrong. I figured, my hands are both doing stuff and I've never held a guitar before so it shouldn't matter, but as soon as I picked up a left-handed guitar my brain just went "ohhhhh, that's better". I know some people who play the "wrong" way around but I can't do it...
Also it does take time for your hand to strengthen and you'll stop accidentally muting strings etc as you improve. You'll probably get way better advice from other people than from me, so I'll just say take it slow and play it right before you try to play it fast :)
