What is something people pretend is easy but really is not?

[BretHart99]

There are so many things people talk about as if they are simple. Just relax, just be confident, just eat better, just make friends, just save money, just go to bed earlier.

The word just does a lot of suspicious work in adult life. Most things that sound easy are actually tangled up with habits, mood, time, money, energy, or fear.
