personality issues - only mental? [closed]

The term "personality issues" is often used as a kind explanation for differences of opinion that cannot be readily understood by one party. This can be a PC synonym for mental disorders and is used to describe such troubles without calling someone crazy or stupid.

As far as jokes if one does not understand or resents my humour it can be ascribed to my "personality issues" rather than our incompatibility which may be partly up to them.


When you're trying to express problems between two people, you usually say they have a personality conflict.

You may even say "there are personality issues between X and Y", but you would not say that either one individually has a personality issue, unless you are suggesting that the individual has blameworthy character defects.
