Personality traits are the foundation of what defines a person. When they are expressed in a healthy and beneficial way, they are described as "an enduring pattern of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors." They influence how we think, feel, make decisions, and act." They are determined by both a person's genetic makeup and environmental influences, and they impact how a person lives their life. A personality disorder may develop when a personality trait becomes rigid and dysfunctional, to the point where it significantly hinders healthy thoughts and activities and harms the person who possesses them. Personality disorders can lead to serious problems, issues, and impaired functioning. Personality disorders, according to professionals, are a persistent pattern of inner experiences. To be diagnosed with a personality disorder, you must be experiencing severe distress in your social, personal, and occupational life, as well as increased stress.
