"You'll never be too much for someone who can't get enough of you."

I saw this sentence on Twitter with no more context, or detail. Someone asked me "what does that mean?" We are non-native speakers so I think this sentence is somewhat a lyric or catchphrase. Therefore I did googling and found that so many Twitter users quoted this sentence.

  • Which part of the sentence is confusing to you? What is your thinking about what it could mean? It helps us write better answers if we understand which parts are hard to understand.

Too much is not like wearing too much red, or sleeping too much. It generally means annoying. So it's more like joking around with people in ways that annoy them because it's fun (for you) to see them get annoyed.

That is too much.

Cannot get enough is something you always want. Like a song you play on repeat for hours, or a TV show you like so much that it becomes part of your life. When you cannot get enough of something, you have a hard time imagining your life without it.

So, if someone loves you so much that they cannot get enough of you, you can never be too much for them.

  • Your last sentence may read better as "So if someone loves you so much that they always want more of you, you can never be too much for them" - otherwise you're explaining the phrase by using the phrase itself

OP's query

"You'll never be too much for someone who can't get enough of you.".
. Someone asked me "what does that mean?"

I. Meaning of the phrases..
Ref. Longman dictionary of contemporary English

1.be too much for somebody used to say that something is so difficult, tiring, upsetting etc that someone cannot do it or bear it .
2.can’t get enough of something/somebody informal to enjoy something so much that you want more and more of it.
Her millions of fans can’t get enough of her.

II. Breaking down the clauses.
The sentence consists of two clauses:
1."You'll never be too much for someone (Main clause).

  • "Too much" implies excessive, overwhelming, or burdensome.
  • This clause suggests that you won't be a burden or too overwhelming for someone.

2.who can't get enough of you. (Relative clause or adjective clause describing someone)

  • "Can't get enough" is an idiomatic expression meaning they want more, they're insatiable, or they have an unquenchable desire for something (in this case, you).
  • This clause describes someone who is eager for more of your presence, love, or connection.

III. Explanation of the complete sentence.
The quote implies that no matter how much time or effort you demand, if someone genuinely loves and appreciates you, they will never find you overwhelming or too much to handle.
They will actually always crave more of your company, affection, and intimacy.
