There is a thin line b/w confidence and overconfidence. I can solve that problems mean you are confident and only I can solve that problem means you are overconfident and overconfident is harmful to our personality.

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.

Confidence is knowing I can do something because I am prepared and capable.

Overconfidence is thinking I can do something even when I am not fully skilled.

Confidence: Confidence has its limitations of smartness. Eg--I can do it (has a limitation).

Overconfidence: Overconfidence has no limitation. Exp-when I say. Only I can do it (no limitation) its overconfidence.

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".

According to me,

Confidence is believing in self. Striving to achieve the goals.

Overconfidence is underestimating others, attitude like I will do it without having any dedication towards the work.
