Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in one's self.
The overconfidence effect is a well-established bias in which a person's subjective confidence in his or her judgments is reliably greater than the objective accuracy of those judgements, especially when confidence is relatively high. Overconfidence is one example of a miscalibration of subjective probabilities.

Confidence implies believing in yourself that "I can do it. " but at the same time not losing any chance to improve on yourself, taking advice from appropriate sources and persons and hard work towards one's goal. On the other hand, over confidence makes one believe that they are on the peak and can never fall. They think that there's nothing more to improve on yourself. That's where over-confidence results in fall.
There exists a very slight boundary between the two but its plays one of the most vital roles in deciding one's future!

According to me,
Confidence is a positive vibe in a healthy atmosphere. It comes when the person has experience, knowledge, and self-awareness and must be in the reality of whether he can fix it or not. He/She must be able to make correct decisions.
Overconfidence is a negative vibe. It leads to an Unhealthy atmosphere.
When the person pretends that he can and he only can fix it without analyzing him/herself.
Be confident, always talk with yourself, and analyze yourself. Don't get diverted while going in your path.

"Only" word is the difference between conference and overconfidence.
According to me, There are three types of answers.
Confidence-I can do this work, this is my confidence.
Only I can do this work this is my overconfidence.
2 => I am going to give my best in the interview this is my confidence,
But the interviewer will definitely hire me this is my overconfidence.
3 => I am best for your company this is my confidence.
But I only the best for your company this is my overconfidence.
Thank you.

Confidence is something which always gives us the strength to do whatever we are going to do just like umbrella don't protect us fully from rain but help us to walk in the rain.
Over confidence is something thinking about ourselves so above and there is only you and you is so best. Although think positive is a bright side but when it says about only me its a negative side. Because there are many who are much better than us we have to learn from them and those who are backward we have to help them.

Confident people do not try to prove anything to someone. They do not seek attention from others. In Contrast, over-confident people are usually loud and noisy, they speak forcefully and loudly to prove their point. Confident people are not afraid to speak the truth. However, over confident people like to make fun of others. Confident people are always authentic in expression. By comparison, over confident people can sense the self-doubt that lurks behind the over-confident person.

Confidence is a belief in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment, which allows an individual to undertake challenges and handle difficult situations. Overconfidence, on the other hand, is an excessive belief in one's abilities, which leads to a tendency to underestimate risks, overestimate outcomes and make decisions without considering all the facts.
Overconfidence can cause a person to act impulsively and without proper planning, potentially leading to negative consequences.

Confidence is the inner factor of every person which we don't show in front of the person and it reaches our perfect goal. For example, if I hard work then I will surely get the job. (with positive attitude and self-motivated).
On the other hand, overconfidence our external image which we easily realize that we have. Which is never reach our destiny. It spoiled our way of our life. For example, I know I have got the job for sure. No one can with me (without any hard work).

Confidence is having perks between passing and failing. You have the guts to pass and at the same time to fail the exam, you are not afraid of failure. And you're in doubt of passing, therefore you will prepare and review for exams, then you will succeed. You are more into preparation than the result.
Over confidence you are jumping into conclusion that you have been succeeded with less effort or preparation, then you'll fail. You are more into results than preparation.

Confidence is all about your real capabilities. According to your determination, you could make yourself confident. Confidence is good. You should always be confident but overconfidence is like that which keeps us back, pulls down. When we think only I can do this I can make this, nobody is there like me, nobody can make this except me then what will happen! Nothing. It destroys us. People may fun of us. They may be sledging behind our back and which will pull us down.
