Saying you can do something exactly knowing your strength and weakness is confidence.

Saying you can complete the task without thinking about your capabilities or putting any effort to do it. It may be an easy task but being over confident will lead to a closed mind to think difficulties you might face.

Confidence is the state of mind where one thinks that he can accomplish a task and he actually has the skills and abilities required to do so. Over-confidence is the state of mind where one thinks that he can accomplish a task but he actually does not have skills and abilities to do so.
