nadamas que aves te pasas
Can someone help me translate " Tu también, nadamas que aves te pasas " This was in response to this statement. "You are smart and confident"

I would re-write it in Spanish first:
"Tú también; nada más que a veces te pasas".
You are smart and confident. You too, it's just that sometimes you miss the point. "Te pasas" is more like slang in that it means "it gets by you" or, literally, "you pass (it up).
Sorry glen, this is not true.
pasarse means to give/do/be too much of something
In the given sentence the person is saying that he thinks the other person is smart...but sometimes "too smart", that is she overdoes it.
I agree with alec but it is not so easy to say what TE PASAS means . Maybe it could mean
You are smart and confident. You too, the only thing is that you ..................
overdo?
exaggerate?
cross the line?
Does anybody else have anything better?
That "te pasas" implies "you overdo it", "sometimes it's too much", "you're sometimes all over the place" and similar meanings. "Pasarse de la raya" implies violating certain social conventions or what is expected from you to do, but it also can be in a good way: "te dije que limpiaras pero la verdad que se puede comer en el suelo ¡te pasaste! ¡muy bien!".
HI Kimmay, welcome to the forum 
Our friend Alec has offered you first a correctly spelled sentence, your friend seems to think correct spelling is not necessary. I am not surprised you didn't understand the sentence the way it was written.
