Ask my dad how well I understood geometry - I used to spend many a night in tears because I could NOT get it. He, as a carpenter and incredibly intelligent individual, couldn't understand why I was having so many problems. I took Algebra I and II and Geometry - I stopped at that. It was pure torture.
Like many other subjects I suspect that the difficulty is often the result of how the subject is taught and perhaps even the quality of the teacher teaching it. A good teacher will make any subject simple and a real pleasure while with a bad one not only do you not learn anything but quite often they even turn people off of learning entirely which, by far, is the greatest damage done by bad teachers.
