Too expressive?

Hi, I have a question out of curiosity and a small concern.

I’m currently dating an ISFP (male), who is slightly older than me. I’m an INFP (female). Our relationship is generally good with only small arguments. Even when we do argue, we usually talk it through and get back to normal quickly, so things are fine for now. We are both naturally quiet people. But lately, when I’m with him, I notice I become more extroverted and expressive, while he stays calm and composed.

When we spend time together, I tend to laugh a lot. Even small jokes or simple cute moments make me laugh more than usual. Sometimes I worry that I might be “too much” for him. I think this happens because I usually hold in my feelings, so when I’m with him, my happiness comes out strongly. I also feel very happy just hearing his voice or seeing his expressions.

I’ve tried telling myself to stay more grounded and not be too loud, but I still naturally laugh a lot when he says something funny or cute.

So my concern is: am I being too much, and would an ISFP find this annoying or get overwhelmed in the long run?

Thank you 🌸

Edit: I think I'm okay now, TQ!
