You know what they say, “Never judge a book by its cover.” And boy, do we have a list of books for you! You see, it’s easy to assume that some things are simple, only to find out they require more skills, knowledge, and expertise than we initially thought. If you’re a graphic designer or manage any creative project, you’ll surely be all too familiar with clients asking for “something quick,” which turns out to be time-consuming.
Take cooking, for example. It may seem like a simple task when you do it at home without high expectations about the result, but it’s a lot more complex when you’re a chef and people pay you for quality food. It requires knowledge of ingredient substitutions, cooking techniques, leadership, food safety, and the ability to multitask and manage time effectively in the kitchen. Similarly, public speaking may appear easy if you’re naturally confident and charismatic. Still, it requires a great deal of practice and preparation to create an engaging speech that stays coherent from start to finish.
Brace yourself — it’s time to burst that bubble of deception and assumptions! We’ve collected a series of examples from an AskReddit thread where people shared their struggles with tasks that seemed easy but were harder than they looked. The list includes a variety of difficult tasks, from playing instruments to professional activities, that demonstrate how the perception of difficulty can be highly subjective.

I've been fighting a severe depressive cycle for awhile now. I shower maybe once or twice a week, laundry needs to be done desperately, and I don't have any motivation to make something to eat for dinner. I just started a new antidepressant though so I hope things will start to improve soon. I'm so over this!

When I had a very depressive time I talked on the phone with my dad's wife (we don't really like eachother and I honestly think she is quite dumb. There are so many very common things she has no idea about) and she asked me how I was. I was honest and told her I was really depressed and it was such a struggle for me to get out of bed in the morning and I was so tired etc. Her response was to say that I was welcome at their place. I was confused: How am I to go and pack stuff, get a bus, change to another bus and then go with that for an hour and then spend time in your home.... when I can barely manage to drag my being from my bed to my couch!??! She didn't know what to say so she went on with another topic to talk about.

There’s a huge difference between being a scientist and being a fan of science. Both are important, but they aren’t the same. A lot of people take a science class or start following a science based Facebook/Twitter/subreddit and only see the successes.
Science is a critical thought heavy endeavor that requires equal parts patience, smarts, and luck. As a researcher doing basic science you’re going to have >90% negative data. For every scientific publication you see, there are months or even years of negative data behind it.
The stuff that science fans and cheerleaders share on Facebook from pages is distilled from the frustrations and efforts of scientists that probably drink heavily."
Thee8thsense 1 year ago
Well, it is generally said that scientific method consists of 5 steps (although I feel like there are more, in actuality). The steps are: 1. Make an observation/Ask a question 2. Do background research 3. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation 4. Test with experiment 5. Analyze data and draw conclusions The end result would be to communicate results. So, it stands to reason (slight pun intended), that some would find science not so easy to grasp.

"Programming.
It's like lego sets. Anyone can follow the instructions and make the millennium falcon. But it's a whole different ballgame when you're given a pile of assorted blocks and someone says "Okay, now... recreate the Taj Mahal. But the client wants it to look like Big Ben. It also needs to be able to interlock with the Sphinx, the Great Wall, the Eiffel Tower, and the Maojang Temple to create a super monument. Yes I know the Maojang Temple hasn't been designed yet, just make some good guesses. We can add parts to it once we know what we need.""

"Street names.
Everyone thinks it's great fun and likes to offer suggestions but every tree, lake, and other natural feature has at least a dozen variations which you can't repeat for emergency service reasons.
That and you get cities which want a street name change anytime the road changes direction regardless of a logical break point like an intersection."

"Making lemonade. Sure squeezing one lemon is easy peasy, but do you know how much juice that makes? Not a lot."

County Fair Lemonade: Get a LARGE cup (like the XL from the gas station) cut a washed lemon in half and squeeze it in to the cup then put the rind in the cup. Mix 1/2 -1cup of sugar with a cup of warm in a separate cup to dissolve it. Fill the cup with the lemon with ice, pour sugar water in, top with cold water and shake/stir. (It's easier to make than to type).

"Any competitive videogame, a lot people think it's easy to make money from esports, I've heard many times "they're just playing video games, they shouldn't be making so much money". Well then... try."
