  • To make it as simple as possible, Higgs makes it hard to push something. Gravity makes it hard to lift something.

    So there are actually two types of mass. One is called inertial mass (what we feel due to the Higgs mechanism) and the other is called gravitational mass (what we feel due to gravitational attraction between two masses). They are usually the same so the distinction is usually ignored.
