There's a very thin line of difference in between confidence and overconfidence. Well, I can explain to you the whole fact with a simple example.
Right before coming to this interview, I was thinking that hopefully, I'll be impressive enough to the HR, through my answers while the Q&A session and I'll surely be capable enough to fulfil the criteria of this job role. So this is called confidence, which is quite good but you know what over-confidence is, if I think that all the other candidates, sitting outside the room will not be able to fulfil the criteria of this job role and will none of em' be selected for the next round. Whereas confidence rejuvenates your soul, recharge your mind and body, over-confidence is a very toxic material by itself. So, we should through overconfidence out of the window but must keep confidence within our heart. Thanks.
