There is a step between confidence and over confidence and that is hardwork sometimes followed by knowledge. If you do hardwork to gain your knowledge then you are full of confidence. The best example is when you gain some practical knowledge by doing a lot of hardwork. And this confidence can be turned into overconfidence if there is no such step.

Confidence: I can do it very well. Other side overconfidence : hoping big without any preparation. This is blind faith that you are the only perfect person.

When the person says "I can do it. " It is known as confidence and when the person says "Only I can do it. " this is known as overconfidence.

1. Having faith in yourself is confidence and having blind faith in yourself is overconfidence.

2. Planning the strategy and implementing it to the work is confidence and thinking that no planning is required to do the work is overconfidence.

Saying that "I can finish the challenges on time" is a confidence while saying "I will finish the challenge before the time" is overconfidence.

Basically, what we know about our calibre to reveal that is confidence while revealing more than that is overconfidence.

Confidence is the belief about a work that you can do, which you got from your experience.

But over confidence is the same makeup belief which you didn't face it before.
