Confidence: buying a ticket and waiting for the train on the platform is confidence.

Overconfidence: Anyhow I have bought the ticket, so the train would come to my house to pick me up is overconfidence.

Hello sir, Mam.

If someone assigned some work to me, then, I can do it is "Confidence", which is self belief and positive minded.

And only I can do it is "Over Confidence", which is a negative thought.

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.

Preparing for something and having a feeling that you will perform well at it is confidence and not preparing for something but still thinking that you will perform excellently at it is over confidence.

Confidence is a path to sucess but over confidence pulls ourself to the failure. Confidence come when we trust ourself and overconfidence come when we underestimate ourself and acheive something great.

There is a thin line between confidence and overconfidence.

Confidence is self-belief, which says, "I can do this work" but Overconfidence underestimates others and says, "Only, I can do this work. ".

The best and simple example to explain the difference is that.

If I think I can do this work, it is called confidence.

But If I say, I am the only one who can do this work is called over confidence.
