“to a fault”

If you say that someone has a particular good quality to a fault, you are emphasizing that they have more of this quality than is usual or necessary. Jefferson was generous to a fault.

Excessively, extremely, as in He was generous to a fault. This phrase, always qualifying an adjective, has been so used since the mid-1700s.

Oh boy.. yeah. I'm that person. 
I'm learning where my fault lines are. It's hard.
