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.

Thinking to win after hardwork is confidence. Without any hardwork the wrong perception is 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.

"I can do" is confidence.

"Only I can do" is overconfidence.

"Only" is the one word that changes the difference between confidence and overconfidence like I can do this work is confidence and I only can do this work is overconfidence.

Sir according to me, if a person has skills, knowledge talent and he/she is assuring for the completion work that means the person is confident enough but if he/she doesn't have that many skills and knowledge which is to be required and is assuring for the completion of task then it's overconfident.
