Confidence is something that will help you to achieve something. Confidence is I can do this task.

But over confidence is I'm the one who will do this task.

Over confidence may lead to decrease your performance. Dreams will be only dreams. It won't come true.

With example I am explaining this.

Suppose we are working with a team, so According to me,

Confidence is yeah surely we can do this (speaking positively & calmly).

Whereas.

Overconfidence is only we can do this no other people can (speaking loudly i.e. in different tone or we can say rudely also).

This emotion given in brackets also matters while answering.

Confident people will be bold enough to do anything and even they encourage others.

Overconfident will also be bold but they feel that they are superior to others and they will discourage others.
