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.

In my opinion, confidence can take you at higher level.

But overconfidence will bring to ground once a time. If we have overconfidence it will spoils us.

Confidence is knowing you studied well and saying you’ll do your best in the exam; overconfidence is saying you’ll top the exam without learning properly.

Difference is just that "over". When there is no ego for achieving and thinking I will and I can do that then it is confidence otherwise over confidence.
