Confidence is the ability to do and don't things that we have.

Over-confidence is when our work is less than we have or our ability.

Confidence, for example, is l can perform the task.

On the other hand over confidence, for instance, is l can perform the task effectively and efficiently instead of anybody.

Confidence means any one can ask a question I can answer that question either it is correct or not. If the answering way represents how much we are confident to that situation. Over confidence means if answering that question and the answer is wrong but the person always says it is correct they did not convince with that answer that represents over confidence.

Respected sir/ mam.

In my point of view, confidence is based on Facts and Figures but over confidence is based on speculation.

First, we analyse that work, then decided we can do that work this is confidence.

Without analysing that work then decided we can do that work this is overconfidence.

There is a small difference between confidence and overconfidence. Confidence means I can do that. Over confidence means Only I can do that.

This small difference leads to change one's life totally. In life we put confidence towards you, then you can achieve anything, with over confidence one can achieve nothing.

Confidence means: Our hard work with us. And no one can change this that's an internal feeling. I am right for this opportunity I can do this. Everyone can do this. But. I am fue well from other that is confidence.

No one can do this without my help. And for that. I am the best, that is not internal that's a feel the yourself very intelligent and other are, nothing. that's overconfidence.

Well, according to me in short confidence means "I can do this work' and overconfidence means "ONLY I can do this work' and also confidence more than required is harmful and that's called overconfidence. That's the difference.

Confidence is the ability to do work and taking it as challenge, over confidence is working without any preparation.

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.

Confidence is the ability to do things and this lead personal and organisational growth.

Over confidence can destroy what has already been built. It can drastically destroy what confident has built over time in any organisation.

Confidence is being comfortable in your own skin and expressing yourself without feeling insecure or nervous. It comes when one knows one's strengths as well as faults and accepts them to improve oneself.

Overconfidence is when a person 'believes' that he/she is right every single time and that there's nothing the others 'need' do, but follow him/her happily.
