If you feel comfortable with Math A but not Math B you might enjoy _Graphical Linear Algebra_[1], which is specifically that bridge!
As someone who is decent at Math B but mostly incompetent at Math A I suspect it comes down to the old analysis vs algebra opposition — being better at thinking about things visually/spatially vs linguistically. Both are trainable though.
I think the approach outlined here works well enough. When teaching us about adjunctions, our category theory lecturer used to have us recite the definition of a left adjoint at the start of every lesson, and he'd draw the diagram as we spoke. I can't say I can still recite it by heart but I do feel like I have a decent intuition for adjoint functors.
