Chall

A playful or mocking shorthand for chalant (the rarely used opposite of nonchalant), used to describe someone acting overly concerned, dramatic, or doing too much. Often implies being sensitive, trying too hard, or caring way too deeply about something that doesn’t matter that much.
As an adjective:
“Bro was acting real chall when she didn’t text back in 5 minutes.”

As a verb (“challing” / “challing out”):
“Stop challing out, it’s not that deep.”
“Why you challing over a game?”

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."
