How these synonyms differ

demanding - 'Demanding' shifts focus to what's required of you, a demanding job drains your energy and attention relentlessly.
grueling - 'Grueling' is physically or mentally exhausting, it implies sustained suffering, not just challenge.
rigid - 'Rigid' uses 'hard' in its physical sense, stiff and inflexible. Applied to people, it means unyielding or strict.
tough - 'Tough' adds resilience, a tough task fights back, and a tough person can take punishment. More visceral than 'hard.'
