Having trust in yourself and your skills is confidence;

Underrating someone who is having more skills and experience than you gives you overconfidence;

Confidence tells our positive attitude and overconfidence tells that over attitude. Confidence in oneself is required to achieve something but overconfidence makes oneself into a different way of approach. Confidence is good for everything but with overconfidence, one can not reach heights.

If you believe you can do it, that's the confidence,

But if you think nobody can do it except me, that's the over confidence.

The difference is only in the belief of a person, both come from hard work but being overconfident towards something needs more passion towards it than a person can think of. It's not bad you know being overconfident, it only depends on individual perception of things as I said earlier.

Everybody have their view of perception based on their experience in life, I want to share my viewpoint on this, be ready to face any kind of situation in unfaithful and having clear thoughts on goals to implement even over distracting from people.

Overconfidence is having less knowledge of situations, behave like immature in the right kind of situation.

Confidence means knowing ourselves what is what, coming to over confidence believing the things will happen which are not practically not possible.

But over confidence is dangerous.

Confidence means having a belief in oneself and believing in the things that we are doing is correct.

Where in, overconfidence is writing the exam without preparation with the great hope of getting a 100% outcome.
