According to me, confidence means that you believe in yourself and you are very honest with yourself.

And overconfidence means you believe in yourself too much.

Confidence is a realistic, pragmatic, and honest belief in one's ability to perform a task, rooted in facts and experience.

In contrast, overconfidence is a false, narcissistic, and egotistical belief in one's exaggerated abilities, often detached from reality.

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.

Sir, confidence is the right thing in which a person thinks of doing a work with not having the sense of arrogance in himself.

Whereas over-confidence is a wrong thing in which a person thinks that he is the only person who is right for any kind of job given to him. He also has the sense of arrogance and in most cases, it leads to failure.
