Question about English (US)
What is the difference between "so many" and "too many" and "so much" and "too much"?
I think they mean basically the same, but when I use "too many" and "too much" it feels kind of an exaggerating and negative amount.

Too many is more amount than so many (as if somebody were exaggerating in amount)
Too much, also the same. More than so much.

Yes, correct, "too" implies that it's negative, it's a problem.
I have so much work to do! -> neutral
I have too much work to do! -> negative, a problem, I am complaining
I love her so much! -> how nice, it's good
I lover her too much! -> it's a problem, you are obsessed with her

You start noticing when you are eating French chicken with chips or fries and suddenly you put too much spice on your fries and you felt it pricked your tongue until it made you scream that you had to drink water immediately.
You noticed that , too much and too many is exaggerating, painful, or complicated? It means a problem to you.
