Sir, my opinion is that. I will explain with you example.

"My answer is right"-it refers to confidence.

"My answer is always right" -refers to self-confidence.

Confidence is ruled by knowledge experience and interest in the work with having the scope of learning and experiencing something new. Wheras overconfidence is ruled by the thoughts of having all the knowledge and experience, and negligence about the work with having no scope of learning anything.

Sir, there is a slight difference between confidence and over-confidence. I'll explain with an example "I can do this" is confidence whereas "Only I can do this" is over-confidence.

When you do something about which you're sure, it is confidence.

When you do something about which you're not sure and giving statements based on emotions, its overconfidence.

There's a thin line between confidence and overconfidence. If I say something and I proved it right then it is confidence but if I could not prove it and then verbally saying the opposite that's called overconfidence.
