Everyone has personality traits that characterise them. These are the usual ways that a person thinks and behaves, which make each of us unique. Personality traits become a personality disorder when the pattern of thinking
and behaviour is extreme, inflexible and maladaptive.

They may cause major disruption to a person's life and are usually associated with significant distress to the self or others. Personality disorders begin in childhood and persist throughout adulthood.

There is a wide range of personality disorders. All of them involve a pervasive pattern of behaviour, which means that the characteristic behaviours and thoughts are evident in almost all aspects of a person's life. I have a useful link and article titled, What is a personality disorder.
