To my knowledge no one in this world knows everything, so confidence is the one I keep learning to know everything and over confidence is the one I know everything. These things will reflect the positive and negative side of a person.

Confidence is the ability to do something by ourselves with good knowledge.

Overconfidence is the same but they don't have much knowledge about that and also they pretend like they have and others feel like there is no sense in that.

Confidence: If you are trying to achieve something, you know you can and still working hard to achieve it. It's confidence.

Over-confidence. If you say you can achieve your goal but not working hard enough then it's over confidence.

A person stays confident when he's going do something in a particular business and he has already proper knowledge about it.

But when that person hasn't proper knowledge and saying that he will do that work then he is overconfident.

Confidents means the one who is completely confident about his knowledge and his skills and acting in a positive way.

Over confident means the one who act like he knows everything and keeping attitude towards the thing he is facing.

Confidence is yes I can do this.
Over confidence is I am the only person who can do this.

In other words,

Confident people may say I will achieve my goal one day.
But overconfident people may say I will definitely achieve my goal.

I think confidence would be to do a task given without hesitation and knowing that you'll complete it. Over-confidence would be when you become too big for your boots, tend to be cocky, rushing into things than getting it all wrong.

Confidence says I have the ability to crack this interview but on the other hand, if I think that I definitely crack this interview shows my overconfidence.

A person should be confident with their decision but not be overconfident.

Confidence is the term for when we feel sure about our actions or behaviors and make the right decisions.

Overconfidence is an excessive belief in what's previously mentioned, often making us overlook the fact that we can be wrong.

After taking some initiatives, realizing that the desired task is possible is confidence. Assuming that someone will help and makes our life better without even taking a risk is overconfidence. Though it works out for fewer people.
