Confidence is based on focus and knowledge but overconfidence is based on speculation. There is a small difference between confidence and overconfidence. Yes, I can do this work is a self- confidence but only I can do this work is a overconfidence.

Confidence : it means that I have knowledge about my work and I can say confidently that I can do this work.

Over confidence : it means the person didn't have any knowledge about their work and still that person is saying that I can do this work.

'Confidence' shows the attitude of a person who thoroughly believes, "No pain, no gain. " On the contrary, 'Over confidence' is an attitude of a person that he won't drown in the sea of reality undoubtedly even when he does not know how to swim.

Confidence means yeah I will win, or yes I will get the job or I will get good marks in exam.

Where as over confidence means yes I will definitely get succeed, yes I will definitely get the job in any cost, I will 110% get good marks in exam.

Confidence is "I can do this work" and overconfidence is "only I can do this work" like we are here for the job interview and if I think that "I will get this job is my confidence but if I think "only I will get this job is my overconfidence".

Confidence is something that refrains us from not doing the required process to achieve the result.

However, overconfidence stops us from doing the required process even before achieving the result because we are too sure of our capabilities.

Confidence is self-appraisal and completing the given job at your best withing caring about the result.

However, Over confidence is treating yourself as the best without having thorough knowledge about anything and talking irrelevant things.

Confidence is a positive and healthy trait that is based on self-awareness, experience, and knowledge, whereas overconfidence is an unrealistic and excessive belief in one's abilities that can lead to poor decision-making and risky behaviour.

Confidence is positive self-belief like If I can do that work, I simply say yes and I will do my best.

On the other hand, overconfidence is just when we think no one can do this better than me and don't want to see the fact that we can fail.

A confident person can foresee both the aspects of a situation and has a plan for both the aspects and an overconfident person can't foresee the aspects.

He/she just go onward with the decision without any consideration of the consequences.
