Confidence is something that empowers you to do something, while being overconfident might led you to neglect important thing, and you end up making mistakes.

All in all, in my thinking, Confidence says I can do it,

Whereas overconfidence says Only I'm the one who can do this.

According to me, there's a slight difference between confidence and overconfidence. When you think that, ' you can do it', this is confidence and when you think that, 'only you can do it', this is overconfidence. Overconfidence is when you start underestimating other people.

Confidence is get me up in a critical situation but Over confidence is put me down in a easy or considerable situation.

Over confidence kills the confidence because over confidence have too much of ego and selfishness so we lost best persons and best movements in our life.

Well! I believe achieving your targets without forecasting it and just keep the target in your mind and believe that you can do is confidence.

Whereas only talking about the success and thinking about the steps but not working hard to achieve the target is overconfidence?

Confidence - I can suitable for this job.
Overconfidence - only I can do this job.

Confidence - believing in your selves and hard working to reach your achievement.
Overconfidence - not knowing anything about it, ignoring facts and just going on to reach your achievement.

Confidence is when we feel sure about our actions and make the right decisions.

We believe in our ability to do something and have faith in ourselves.

On the other hand, overconfidence is excessive belief in our abilities, overlooking the fact that we can be wrong too.
