Confidence is something that makes you believe that you can do a particular thing whereas when overconfidence comes into play it makes you believe that only you can do a particular thing & no one else is capable as you are.

Confidence is characterised by having positive and realistic beliefs in your abilities.
Overconfidence is when you have an excessive belief in your abilities; it can cause you to underestimate something and make mistakes.

According to me, Confidence is the way of expressing your thoughts positively and as well as appreciating other's way of thinking.
But, overconfidence is thinking that you are the only one who is right and others aren't.

The difference between confidence and overconfidence is that confidence means the belief in yourself through your hard work. But overconfidence means you are thinking that you are the only person capable to do that work.

Confidence means you have the guts to pass or fail on something. It is the shaky part of passing and failing.
And for over confidence you only have the guts to pass. You don't think about failure. And it is dangerous.

In confidence, there is awareness of self. One has an accurate understanding of one's ability. Whereas in overconfidence, there is a lack of awareness of self where the person exaggerates his ability to execute things.

I think this is the correct time to recall the tortoise and rabbit story.
In that story, the rabbit has over confidence for that reason it loses the race.
But tortoise has confidence for that reason it won the race.

Confidence is like I will complete my work with all my efforts and over confident is like no one keep effort like me on given task I can only finish it no other. Here we can take turtle and rabbit story as an example.
