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.

Confidence is a positive side of any person on the other hand overconfidence is the negative side of a person. Confidence helps to learn anything easily but overconfidence doesn't give to learn anything.

Because an overconfident person thinks that he/she knows everything or without he/she anyone doesn't know that particular thing.

"I can do this work" - confidence.

"Only I can do this work" - overconfidence.

Confidence is more about respecting the potential of yourself while overconfidence is about disrespecting the potential of others.

Being confident helps you reach your goals while overconfidence takes you further away from your goals.

Confidence: A person is capable to do this work because he knows how to do that work.

Overconfidence: A person only can do this work, without knowing about the work.

Confidence - I can suitable for this job.
Overconfidence - only I can do this job.

Confidence - believing in your selves and hard working to reach your achievement.
Overconfidence - not knowing anything about it, ignoring facts and just going on to reach your achievement.
