Being extra means being more than what is necessary or expected. It can also mean being over-the-top, dramatic, or attention-seeking.
In the context of your question, it sounds like the person who said you were being extra was implying that you were being too much. Maybe you were talking too much, or maybe you were being overly dramatic. It's hard to say for sure without more context.


If you're concerned about being labeled as "extra," it's important to be aware of how you're coming across to others. If you find yourself being more than what is necessary or expected, it might be a good idea to tone it down a bit. But, if you're just being yourself and you're not hurting anyone, then there's no need to change.


Here's a short and sweet tip for avoiding being labeled as "extra": Be mindful of your surroundings and the people around you.
