overexciting
Excessively working up
Overexciting is stimulating to an excessive degree—pushing past pleasant arousal into agitation or overwhelm.
Activities that are overexciting leave someone unable to calm down: The birthday party was overexciting for the toddler, who melted down afterward.
The term often appears in discussions of children, pets, or overstimulated nervous systems.
