i used to be really bad about over-explaining (still am sometimes). For example, if i were cold, i would say "Oh gosh, i'm freezing, and my hands are numb, and it's making me really hurt, and will you consider turning up the A/C?" Now i just say "i'm cold" - so he can make the decision to turn up the A/C (or not). i'll also use statements like "i'm scared." Or when asked how i feel, i'll list: "nervous, happy, excited, open." i've found simple statements are the best - and clarity is good. Especially as a slave. He needs information to make decisions, but not necessarily my emotional tirade of justification of why i think he should take a specific action.
