overexcited
Excessively worked up
Overexcited describes a state of excessive enthusiasm or agitation—too keyed up for the situation.
Children become overexcited at birthday parties; adults get overexcited about sports or celebrity gossip.
The word often carries a mildly dismissive tone, suggesting someone should calm down: Don't get overexcited—it's just a job interview.
