In my opinion, Confidence is a strong belief on your knowledge, strategy, and capability to work hard and make that thing happen. They don't think about other's judgment.
Overconfidence on the other hand no research, no tendency to learn more, and planning and strategizing only based on the current knowledge that they had. They are unable to foresee the challenges. And hence in the end fail to accomplish the goal. They do think about other people and work accordingly.

There is a very thin layer between confidence and over confidence. If one thinks that he can do the task and has the ability, it is confidence. But if one thinks that I will be able to do it nothing can stop me and I am the only best that is over confidence.
One should have confidence and not over confidence as it ruins our personality and our relations with our colleagues. Confidence gives us a positive attitude and approach in life which is very important.

Sir, for me there is a fine difference between confidence and overconfidence as I face it practically in my life. Confidence is accompanied to the belief of an individual where the confidence shows a part of the persons ego and lack of self-evaluation.
As for showing the difference with the help of the statement.
"I am sure that I get this job" shows confidence".
"I am super sure that I get this job" shows some overconfidence.

Confidence is a positive belief in oneself and one's abilities. It comes from a genuine understanding of one's strengths and experiences.
On the other hand, overconfidence refers to an excessive or unwarranted belief in one's abilities, often without proper justification or evidence.
In short, confidence is a healthy and balanced belief in oneself, whereas overconfidence potentially unrealistic perception of one's abilities.

Confidence is something when you do care about your result and puts 100% effort to make it best but in over confidence's case you don't care about the result although might be possible to not to put any effort because of over assurance to that matter. In other words, confidence is what when you make a rough path in a walkable path and in over-confidence, you make a rough path into a slippery (over smooth) path.

The difference between confidence and over-confidence is
For example, I am an employee in the company my boss assigned me work and said submit work on time. Then I can do this work and submit given time is confidence.
Only I can do this work and submit given time is overconfidence.
Confidence always gives a positive attitude, Positive thinking and overconfidence give over attitude and negative thinking.

Confidence is based on facts and knowledge. Overconfidence is based on speculation.
There is a small difference between confidence and overconfidence.
Yes, I can do this work, is self-confidence but only I can do this work is overconfidence or you can say that confidence is an internal belief that I am the right person for this job.
Overconfidence is thought that I am only the right person for this job.

Well, sir according to me if the person who should have some goals and the content within the goal should be predetermined for him that is the indication of confidence.
On the other hand, any of the person who should have some goals but he doesn't know that how to execute that goal and how to perform on that goal but still he is doing that work that is the indication of overconfidence.

When the person says "I can do it. " It is known as confidence and when the person says "Only I can do it. " this is known as overconfidence.
1. Having faith in yourself is confidence and having blind faith in yourself is overconfidence.
2. Planning the strategy and implementing it to the work is confidence and thinking that no planning is required to do the work is overconfidence.
