'too' or 'really' ?

I attend language institute.

And yesterday I was taught about adjective.

I made a senetnce like 'it's too obvious...'

But my teacher said that is wrong and I should say 'it's really obvious..'

'it's too obvious...' doesn't make sense ?

I'm really confused please let me know which is right.

Thanks.

If you say "It's too obvious" that means that it is excessively obvious. In other words, this sentence suggests that the speaker thinks it needs to be less obvious. If you say "It's really obvious", that just means that it is very obvious.
