If we can do something by knowing our strengths, weaknesses and limits, and think that the activity which is done by us will be good enough, it is Confidence, on the other hand, we think that we can do anything and nobody can do better than us, This is a Over Confidence.

In confidence or over confidence little bit difference like confidence-I can do this.

But in over confidence-I am, I am the only one who can operate this company, I can do anything.

Sir according to me, if a person has skills, knowledge talent and he/she is assuring for the completion work that means the person is confident enough but if he/she doesn't have that many skills and knowledge which is to be required and is assuring for the completion of task then it's overconfident.

"Only" is the one word that changes the difference between confidence and overconfidence like I can do this work is confidence and I only can do this work is overconfidence.

Sir, according to me.

"I can do" is confidence.

"Only I can do" is overconfidence.

There's a thin line between confidence and overconfidence. If I say something and I proved it right then it is confidence but if I could not prove it and then verbally saying the opposite that's called overconfidence.

Thinking to win after hardwork is confidence. Without any hardwork the wrong perception is overconfidence.
