Confidence is a belief in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment, which allows an individual to undertake challenges and handle difficult situations. Overconfidence, on the other hand, is an excessive belief in one's abilities, which leads to a tendency to underestimate risks, overestimate outcomes and make decisions without considering all the facts.

Overconfidence can cause a person to act impulsively and without proper planning, potentially leading to negative consequences.

Well-preparations and pre-plans make confidence, in contrast, lack of planning and preparation make over confidence.

Confidence is that when we feel sure about our actions without fear because fear can destroy our dreams.

On the other hand, Overconfidence is an excessive amount of belief in our abilities which may lead to the wrong decision.

According to me, Confidence can build you but Overconfidence can destroy you.

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.

There is just a minute difference between confidence and overconfidence.

If I tell I can mean that is my confidence. But if I tell I only can means that is my overconfidence.
