Should I get a left-handed guitar?

So I'm wanting to start learning guitar though I feel more comfortable strumming with my left hand, I've heard that it's a lot of trouble buying a left handed guitar and playing that way so should I just stick to playing regularly? It doesn't feel THAT bad playing with my right hand and I'd be able to adapt to it right? Any experienced guitar players here able to give me some advice?

I'm not really looking to get into any serious things with the guitar, just play for fun/casually and learn some things to jam along to.

Thanks!

I wouldn't recommend flipping the guitar in the long run, but yeah, it's a possible choice.

If you don't feel like picking up a new one, just flip the guitar (it should be symmetrical) and flip the strings. It shouldn't cause too many issues unless you're using an electric guitar or something.
