According to me confidence means having a belief on your hard work which is reflected by an attitude I can do this.

And overcofidence is underestimating others with an attitude only I can do this.

Confident people will be bold enough to do anything and even they encourage others.

Overconfident will also be bold but they feel that they are superior to others and they will discourage others.

Confidence means it comes with your own abilities and past success and the decision will be right.

According to me, confidence is a positive and encouraging side of one's mind and overconfidence is a negative side of one's mind. So, I think that confidence is more necessary than overconfidence.

Judging oneself if comfortable to do a task and then giving response that I can do is confidence.

Overconfidence is giving positive response that I can do without any proper judgment of oneself.

Confidence is having a realistic belief in your abilities, knowing your strengths and weaknesses.

Overconfidence is an exaggerated belief in your abilities, often ignoring risks and limitations.

The belief in you that you do is confidence, But over confidence is that you can do anything that you had.
