It's always unpleasant when someone you like says that you're "too much" - it can break your heart.

If someone thinks you're "too much," it means they might feel overwhelmed or annoyed by your behavior because it's too intense or frequent. 

You can do a few things to get rid of the tension and feel better.

Learn to listen

Pay attention to what the person is saying and how they're feeling. Take their feelings seriously.

Ask the right questions

Talk to them kindly and ask why they feel this way. Understanding their point of view can help.

Tone down a bit

Try to tone down your behavior a bit. For example, if you're very talkative, you can listen more. If you're always around, give them some space.

Boundaries matter

Respect their personal space and boundaries. Don't push them if they need some alone time.

You probably need to apologize

If you've done something to upset them, apologize sincerely.

Fix your communication

Keep talking and find a balance that works for both of you. It's about finding a middle ground where both people are comfortable.

Remember, it's okay to be yourself, but it's also important to consider how your actions affect others and make adjustments when necessary to maintain healthy relationships. Be yourself, manage your communication, and everything will be fine!
