Common Challenges & Solutions
Every beginner faces obstacles. Here's how to overcome them:
⚠️
Hard to imagine
Solution: That's the challenge synesthetes face - their experience is automatic and real, but hard to describe to others. Try imagining that every time you see the number '5', you automatically see purple. Not thinking about it - it just IS purple. That's synesthesia.
