Probably the #1 complaint.
Myself included. I am new here also.
What I did to convince myself ... I placed my guitar across my knees strings up then I put each one of my (4) playing hand fingers one at a time on every string (6) behind every fret (21).I saw that unless I had my finger absolutely crossway, at right angle to the string (impossible to do while playing) there was sufficient room. I also noted that as I proceeded from nut to soundhole, that the strings flared out slightly, giving even more room. So I have proved to myself 6x4x21=504X that my fingers do fit and that I must learn to place them properly in the allotted spaces.
So I hope you accept the challenges ahead. I can't imagine a better place than here to make an honest attempt to learn.
Friendly people and dedicated instructors.
Cheers
