Confidence is a belief in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment, which allows an individual to undertake challenges and handle difficult situations. Overconfidence, on the other hand, is an excessive belief in one's abilities, which leads to a tendency to underestimate risks, overestimate outcomes and make decisions without considering all the facts.

Overconfidence can cause a person to act impulsively and without proper planning, potentially leading to negative consequences.

I personally feel that slight difference in confidence and overconfidence that first believes oneself as capable and latter is to believe oneself as best and other less.

That's all.
