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 is the belief in your abilities and skills. It allows you to take on challenges, make decisions, and engage with others positively.
For example, when you prepare well for a presentation, your confidence helps you speak clearly and effectively.
On the other hand, overconfidence is an excessive belief in your abilities, often leading to mistakes or poor decisions. It can make you underestimate risks or overlook important details. For instance, if someone thinks they can ace an exam without studying because they feel overly confident, they might not perform well.
In summary, confidence is healthy and necessary for success, while overconfidence can lead to negative outcomes.

The main difference between confidence and overconfidence.
Confidence means I can do this work with my skill and knowledge while overconfidence means that I can only do this work, no one can do this work.
The possibility of success in confidence is 100%. While in overconfidence it is not sure to be a success.

Confidence is built on the practice of one's skills and abilities while being receptive to improvement.
Overestimating one's capacity and disregarding the challenges is what overconfidence is all about.

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 a realistic, pragmatic, and honest belief in one's ability to perform a task, rooted in facts and experience.
In contrast, overconfidence is a false, narcissistic, and egotistical belief in one's exaggerated abilities, often detached from reality.
