Challenging

A euphemism used when someone has strong negative feelings about something, but is choosing not to share them more explicitly (usually out of courtesy towards others).

Calling something "challenging" is a way to express one's dislike of it as being a personal issue, rather than a condemnation of the thing itself. Basically, "it's not you, it's me."

Often used in a lighthearted or humorous manner.
Person 1: I love her new song! What'd you think of it?
Person 2: It's... challenging. It isn't for me. (Absolutely hated it.)

"Do you want a mint? Your breath is a bit challenging."

(After falling down the stairs): "The stairs are challenging today."
