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 deals with how you should approach a job or task with courage and make sure to complete the task with limited time. But overconfidence sometimes eradicates all the performance as well as job schedule which will give a great impact on your corresponding activities.
So, have proper patience and do not go beyond your confidence level.

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.

Confidence means believing in your abilities while still being open to learning and improving.
Overconfidence is when someone believes they know everything and stops listening or learning.
For example, confidence says ‘I can do this task if I prepare well, ’ while overconfidence says ‘I don’t need to prepare, I already know everything.

Confidence is a positive side of any person on the other hand overconfidence is the negative side of a person. Confidence helps to learn anything easily but overconfidence doesn't give to learn anything.
Because an overconfident person thinks that he/she knows everything or without he/she anyone doesn't know that particular thing.

In simple-term when you are learning and doing hard work, and your soul says that you are capable of doing this problem, this is confidence.
But when you didn't learn what you need to solve that problem, and still you put your ego together and say I can do this and fail cause you didn't learnt that much, this is overconfidence.

Confidence is the thinking to do things which are in the limit of our capability. While overconfidence is the thinking to do things which are beyond our capability.
For example. I can do it because I have practised enough, is confidence.
While I will definitely be able to do it, there is no need of practising anything for it.

There is a very thin line difference between confidence and overconfidence.
When a person has confidence he/she says like yes, I can do anything for this.
But when he/she says like I only can do this, is a showcase of overconfidence.
Which is not good because everyone should keep their confidence in themselves, not on others.

In my point of view simply confidence means belief in you and I reach my dreams and goals.
Overconfidence means I have belief in myself I definitely reach all my goals and dreams before working hard they are thinking or they feel like I will succeed in everything in my life before working only they think like an overthinking.

Confidence is believing that you can do something, and this is backed by intensive preparations and training.
Whereas overconfidence is a false belief that produces the right expected outcomes when you haven't done the relevant preparations, such as training and revisions, and it's associated with pride and self-realisation.
