Sir,
Confidence means I can do this work, Over Confidence means only I can do this work.
A confident person always ready to learn from others & a over confident person want that every person learn from him/her, he don't want to learn from others. Confidence increases a person's quality but over confidence decreases a person's performance or quality. |

| The confidence that force you to put more efforts & work hard is confidence & the confidence that you can do without any efforts is over confidence. |

Sir, the most simple difference between the two situations can be best explained by Aamir Khan's dialogue from the movie Ghajini.
'I can do it' is my confidence and 'Only I can do it' is my overconfidence. |

Confidence is something which always deserves a positive outcome and leads to motivational, successful ending.
Where as overconfidence initiates very drastically and leads to a confused and never solving problem. It ultimately ends giving harassment.
Thanks. |

| There is no difference if a person is doing work with confidence and he got success then the people says that he has confidence and if the same work become wrong then the people says that he has over confidence. Overconfidence is nothing it just thinking of other peoples. |

Confidence is an eternal lifetime ability to remain composed, alert & directed in your words, thoughts and deeds when faced with fears and insecurities that surrounds us.
Overconfidence is when you underestimate quality of others and consider yourself to be the superior, and this way your cycle of learning ends. |

Confidence means - we do not feel nervous in any condition specially to do the work which we know how to do. It means if we are confident we can face every condition and hold passion in worst condition too. We think to make the working way more effective if we are confident. Confidence is a feeling of 'I' which increase learn skill of the person.
While when a person have feeling that he is the 'Perfect' it is the overconfidence.
It destroy the learning skill and person's working ability remains constant forever. He can't create anything new. |

Confidence is the ability to believe in oneself and to speak of one's strengths. It is the courage to accept one's limitations but at the same time showing readiness to overcome those.
Overconfidence on the other hand is the illusion of possessing something one doesn't have and the inability or ignorance to accept one's limitations. It can sometimes prove useful but most probably leads to disastrous end. |

| Confidence is a golden word without which a person in his professional life can do nothing, just add a prefix to it, the word 'over' and it becomes the most disastrous word! over-confidence and ego go hand in hand! 'I can do it'-confidence, 'only I can do it, no matter what'-this is overconfidence! |

Sir,
Confidence is somewhat that, when a person knows both sides and thinks I will try my best my to solve the problem. And over-confidence is when he blindly guesses and thinks he can solve any problem. |

The confidence is one which is built when you realise that this a task which can be done by you and overconfidence is stage when you think it is like a childs play to me.
In confidence person sometimes gets victory or sometimes defeat but in overconfidence you always gets defeat. |

A person who is confident respects the work and starts the work on day 1 so that he can finish the work on time.
Whereas the person who is overconfident neglects the work with a thinking that he can achieve anything and starts the work, before the day of submission. |

'Over confidence' has one word more than 'Confidence'.
Trying for this kind of different example is Confidence.
Thinking this is the Smartest answer is Over Confidence. |

Confidence and overconfidence - Both are Psychological situation of an individual.
A confident state is when individual is aware about both sides of coins.
An over-confident state is BIASED state when an individual thinks/considers only a single side of coin.
In realms of Psychology & philosophy, Both states are **indistinguishable**.
But in Practical realms, both are measurable. Because they cannot be measured until results are out.
For example i can give you Paradoxical example to illustrate my point.
An example is classic Einstein-Schrodinger debate over Quantum reality that made Einstein to state famous quote "God does not play dices.". Many agreed with Him. But later he proved to be wrong!!.
Same applies when Newton's Corpuscular theory was rejected and then again rethought for dual nature of light.
Even Birthday Paradox. Both are just perceptions. |

Confidence in the sense feeling that he can do anything without any obstacles. If so he can overcome that using his knowledge.
Over confidence in the sense he is not knowledgeable but he shown to be a wise person. |

Knowledge is confident: Confidence comes from the knowledge if you have knowledge on the subject then you can show yourself as a confident.
Overconfident shows you do not have knowledge only you are showing yourself you are wise man. |

| There is a huge difference between "confidence" and "over confidence". "confidence" is something that makes us determine that we can do it but "overconfidence" may indulge some one in problem as it is something that creates ego that only I can do it. |

According to my opinion Confidence means make a assertion of that I can do the particular job and over confidence means make a assertion of that I can only do the particular job.
The one word "Only" make a huge difference between confidence and over confidence.
We can also see the example like A story of hare and tortoise. In which hare was over confidence that he will win the race and tortoise had the confidence that I will win the race with patience. Here confidence show "success" and over confidence show "failure". |

In my view, Confidence is the key to prove yourself right whereas an over confidence person fizzle in proving his or her own statement.
Confidence makes a person feel relaxed whereas over confidence always leaves you in doubt. |

According to me, these two words make a huge difference in themselves.
For example as I have mentioned in my resume that I like to play chess so if in any game if I say that I will win that's my confidence while if I say that nobody can beat me that's my overconfidence means confidence is a positive trait while overconfidence is negative trait as I am underestimating other persons. |

| There is a thin line which distinguishes a confident person from an overconfident person. Often the difference lies in the way people perceive success. Confidence is believing that one will pass, overconfidence is believing that one would never fail. |

The mainly difference between the confidence and the over confidence is that.
If a person doing any work with his overall concentration by taking all his confidence it makes him success but that work only if a person did all his over confidence by considering extra expectation it may that work will not succeeded that mean his not doing that work with full of his concentration but his thinking some expectation so that is the main reason why sometimes the over confidence leads to the man unsuccessful. |

| Confidence is a positive attitude to handle a situation or doing a work, and it helps in our growth, ex, in a team work, a confident person spreads great energy to other team members with his attitude, while overconfidence really hampers our growth, overconfident person try to initiate or be the boss type in a group never considering the talents of other group members, which mostly spreads a negative energy and discomfort to others, and the result will be negative too. So we can have I can do attitude but not I only can. |

According to me, two words make a huge difference in themselves.
Confidence: "I can do this job. ".
Over-confidence: "Only I can do this job. ".
The words differ only in one word "ONLY", but this "only" will decide the path of your life either towards promotion or towards demotion. |
