is too highly strung
She has too many problems, She is wrapped way too tight, wound up like a compressed spring ready to explode, If you said something to her she would jump down your throat, she will bite your head off, she is under too much stress, she is hooked up like a strainer post, She should unwind a bit before she ends up in a mental home, All mean the same thing she is over stressed.

Patricia Townshend (X)
: It could also be just that she is very reserved and can't let go. I know someone like that and she is not necessarily stressed, just very self-absorbed and wrapped up in her own world.

self centered , concerned and busy wth her own prolems issues
when we are wrapped too tight that means we are too busy and occupied with our own problems issues cares and personal business to noite other people feel for them care for them or share thier concerns and we r also too busy to enjoy life itself
Example sentence:
Are You Wrapped Too Tight?The main problem with being all wrapped up in yourself is that there's no room left in there to care for anyone or anything else besides you
The clearer it becomes to each of us that everyone suffers for a simple lack of everyday kindness, the nearer we are to creating a world in which no one has to suffer anymore over how they've been treated by others.
