Confidence: I can do it very well. Other side overconfidence : hoping big without any preparation. This is blind faith that you are the only perfect person.

Confidence is knowing I can do something because I am prepared and capable.

Overconfidence is thinking I can do something even when I am not fully skilled.

According to me, Confidence is when you think you can do a particular job.

Where as Over Confidence is when you think only you can do that particular job.

Confidence is a belief on one's ability
Whereas overconfidence is an excess belief.

For ex. Confidence is "i can".
Whereas overconfidence is "only I can".

Confidence - I will get an opportunity to work is confidence.

Overconfidence - Opportunity will knock the door (or) think that no one is prefect than me.

If I have believe that I can do, that one is confidence.

When I will say that its very easy, I can do this without believe. That's one is overconfidence.

If you say I can answer, after knowing the question its confidence.

If you say I can answer any question before knowing the question its over confidence.

My confidence will keep being connected to my objective but overconfidence will distract me from that. I will diminish my ability being over confidential.
