I think confidence is human feelings which comes after the internal hardworking about anything which give us strength and motivate us to go toward right path of life.
Overconfidence make us lazy, careless because it only shows us winning trophy not the hardwork required for it. We are alredy sure about winning without doing efforts for it which eventually make us fall from mountain.

First of all, we should know the origin of confidence is information which has facts, figure, logic's etc.
Confidence: having knowledge, facts, figure, logic on the opinion of a person.
Eg: I will try to play good game and I will try to win the game.
Overconfidence: I will play good game and I will win the game.
Considering that your competitors are not good in game is blunder.

Confidence is an innate virtue in every individual. It is one of the building blocks of one's personality.
Now, coming to the question asked; confidence is when you know you are capable enough for any kind of work. Most importantly, it's when you believe in yourself. Overconfidence is when you feel that you're better than other, which is self destructive in some circumstances.

Confidence is the trust of ourself to teach reach the destiny with an idea of present situation.
Overconfidence is not knowing the idea of present situation but still, think to reach the destination.
Overconfidence is nothing but drowns completely in ocean with knowing the skills to swim.
Confidence is to hold the breath according to situation and know to swim accordingly.

There is a thin line between confidence and overconfidence. When you think that you have such potential to do that work, that's your confidence.
And if you think that You are the only one who can do that work easily and nobody can do that as you can, then that's your overconfidence.
So, confidence is good but overconfidence is not good. Overconfidence just messed your work.

Confidence is when you're sure about something, for example, being able to solve a coding problem.
Over-confidence carries an air of arrogance and stupidity. It's when you're excessively confident about something; for example, thinking you can crack an extremely tough paper in one go, even though you don't have sufficient knowledge/skills required for clearing that paper.

Confidence is being keen not only towards the success but also towards failures, and confidence allows to overcome failure.
Whereas overconfidence never care about your failures it only thinks about success and makes you feel that it's not level of mine and initiates negligence.
In a way, confidence+negligence = Over Confidence.
Confidence=faith+afraid of failures.

With example I am explaining this.
Suppose we are working with a team, so According to me,
Confidence is yeah surely we can do this (speaking positively & calmly).
Whereas.
Overconfidence is only we can do this no other people can (speaking loudly i.e. in different tone or we can say rudely also).
This emotion given in brackets also matters while answering.

Sir/mam, there is my example that shows the difference between confidence & overconfident. For example, if I say I am the only one suitable for this job it's my confidence.
If I say I am the only one suitable for this job it's my overconfident.
Confidence shows knowledge & it is task-oriented.
Overconfidence shows a fake attitude and it is ego-oriented.
