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.

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 means you know what is your weakness and you know that trying and trying, again and again, you can change your weakness in your strength.
Overconfidence means that you are sure that you have no negativities and it"s fact that you will win, no. The matter you are putting your right effort in that direction or not.

Confidence is when we feel sure about our abilities and make the right decisions. It is the feeling when we have faith in ourselves. And on the other hand, over confidence is when we take our abilities in excessive way overlooking the fact that we can be wrong too. So Confidence gives us strength and over confidence weakens.
