Here is an only small difference, if I say am suitable for this job it's my confidence but if I say am the only one suitable for this job it's my over-confidence.

That means, confidence is good understanding about our strength and over-confidence is like one underestimating other people.

If you believe you can do it, that's the confidence,

But if you think nobody can do it except me, that's the over confidence.

Confidence: Confidence means believing in yourself and in your abilities-not in an arrogant way but in a realistic, secure way.

Overconfidence: Overconfidence is an excessive belief in their own abilities ignoring the fact that their decision can be wrong too.
