Complicated means it’s difficult to handle, difficult to deal with.
Complex means there are just a lot of aspects, a lot of issues with it.
So Complex and Complicated are very similar. But sometimes we use them in different scenarios.
So one specific example is if someone says：「Please don’t make this complicated.」 They mean please don’t make this difficult. But you could not say please don’t make this complex. That doesn’t work.More complex would be adding in other issues. So it doesn’t really work in this situation. Complicated is what you would use here. Complicated is usually like an negative word, it doesn’t have to be but it’s more negative whereas complex is not necessarily negative.Let's take a look at another example here:The United Nations is a very complex organization.
That just means there’s a lot of different things going on in the UN. There’s lots of different people and things they do and jobs they have. So it’s complex. But it’s not complicated, it’s not difficult.
