What is the difference between confidence and over confidence?

Confidence is being comfortable in your own skin and expressing yourself without feeling insecure or nervous. It comes when one knows one's strengths as well as faults and accepts them to improve oneself.

Overconfidence is when a person 'believes' that he/she is right every single time and that there's nothing the others 'need' do, but follow him/her happily.

If the interviewer says something like, "If you can do it, there are hundred others who can do it too. Why should we choose you and not them?".

If you say because I can do it better than others, the interviewer might twist your reply to mean that you are over-confident.

What to say in such situations? Maybe you can say "Because I'm special! You will find it during my work and never regret your choice.

Shahith said: A person is confident when he know the fact better, a person is overconfident when he think that he know the facts better than others.

There's a very thin line of difference in between confidence and overconfidence. Well, I can explain to you the whole fact with a simple example.

Right before coming to this interview, I was thinking that hopefully, I'll be impressive enough to the HR, through my answers while the Q&A session and I'll surely be capable enough to fulfil the criteria of this job role. So this is called confidence, which is quite good but you know what over-confidence is, if I think that all the other candidates, sitting outside the room will not be able to fulfil the criteria of this job role and will none of em' be selected for the next round. Whereas confidence rejuvenates your soul, recharge your mind and body, over-confidence is a very toxic material by itself. So, we should through overconfidence out of the window but must keep confidence within our heart. Thanks.

Confidence means capabilities to do something good or you can see something good in every condition. And believed on ourself.

But overconfidence means you think that only I can do that work nobody can do it better than me. Or we can say a person who doesn't have proper knowledge still he/ she think that they are best and no one can replace them. It is only a sign of overconfidence so we should avoid this type of thinking and thought process instead of it we can say that yes we have knowledge but we also have to improve it day by day to enhance our skills and ability or should appreciate others also to achieve well in their life never underestimate yourself as well as others.

That's all I think.

Thank you.

Respected sir/ mam.

In my point of view, confidence is based on Facts and Figures but over confidence is based on speculation.

First, we analyse that work, then decided we can do that work this is confidence.

Without analysing that work then decided we can do that work this is overconfidence.

There is a small difference between confidence and overconfidence. Confidence means I can do that. Over confidence means Only I can do that.

This small difference leads to change one's life totally. In life we put confidence towards you, then you can achieve anything, with over confidence one can achieve nothing.

A confident person is knowledgeable, has a deep understanding, has sharpened his/her skill sets by repeated practice, and is constantly willing to learn. A confident person is also humble, can acknowledge his/her mistakes, and makes it a point to rectify their mistakes and faults. These qualities build trust and make him/her success in life.

Whereas, An overconfident person, on the other hand, is blind to his/her mistakes and faults. He/she cannot accept their shortcomings and assume that they know the best. Hence they stop learning and slowly but surely stop being successful in their chosen path.

According to me,

Confidence:it is based on our abilities and strength if we are planned for a particular work with a positive manner then we say yes I can.

Over confidence:it is based on the previous success on a particular work on that success whether he or she commited that they can do in a very relaxed manner it is good to have a look back the previous achievements and success it gives a great strength and positivity in ourselves but it is more important to focus on the present work and should be analysed by your own whether the work can be finished or not based on your work abilities.

Confidence is the belief that one can have faith and Overconfidence is the quality of being too confident.

If we decide whether we can do particular work or not after analysing is confidence, if we decide we can without analysing it is Overconfidence.

Let me give an example:.

Suppose I have attended the particular interview and if I say I will get the job it is confidence because I know how I performed.

But if I say only I will get the job, no one can do better than me it is Overconfidence because I don't know how the rest of them performed, might be someone else has performed well.

Confidence means what we boost ourself to do a task and by boosting ourself we will get more confidence.

Confidence will not get from others, it will get from when we keep (re-doing) doing to achieve anything we want.

Overconfidence will get from those who have more talent better than us.

Those who have confidence they do the task in their real life with reality. But those who have overconfidence they will assume in their mind that I will complete this better than others and only I can complete.

Simply, confidence leads to success.

Overconfidence leads to fail.

Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in one's self.

The overconfidence effect is a well-established bias in which a person's subjective confidence in his or her judgments is reliably greater than the objective accuracy of those judgements, especially when confidence is relatively high. Overconfidence is one example of a miscalibration of subjective probabilities.
