personal conflict
One-on-one friction
Personal conflict is a clash or struggle between individuals, typically arising from incompatible goals, values, personalities, or interests.
It can occur in any relationship—between coworkers, family members, romantic partners, or friends—and ranges from minor disagreements to sustained hostility.
