"I am right" expresses confidence while "I can't be wrong" expresses overconfidence.

Confidence comes from believing that you are doing your best while overconfidence comes from believing that you are the best.

The major difference between being confident & overconfident is;.

A confident person always thinks that there is a chance to learn more but an overconfident person thinks I am the best person I know everything.

Sir/Mam.

Confidence is the thought of I can do it. That is believing in myself.

And overconfidence on the other hand means no one can do it except me. And this is not good because it can destroy one's career.

Sir according to my views, confidence is best way to check our potential and overconfidence is the worst way. By overconfidence we can lose everything in our life but with confidence we can achieve everything.

According to me, confidence is being humble with the knowledge you have

Overconfidence is even you know less about something and show up like you know everything, simply an overaction is called overconfidence

Sir.

Confidence is when you have a goal. You work hard for that and believe that. I can do it. But when you do nothing for your goal. And still, believe that. I can do it then this is celled over confidence.

In my point of view, confidence is self-belief and positive attitude towards anything that comes to me.

Overconfidence is nothing but a hostile behavior to ourselves and it also effects others because of us.
