Sir.

Confidence is when you have a goal. You work hard for that and believe that. I can do it. But when you do nothing for your goal. And still, believe that. I can do it then this is celled over confidence.

Difference is just that "over". When there is no ego for achieving and thinking I will and I can do that then it is confidence otherwise over confidence.

If I have believe that I can do, that one is confidence.

When I will say that its very easy, I can do this without believe. That's one is overconfidence.

Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in one's self.

The overconfidence effect is a well-established bias in which a person's subjective confidence in his or her judgments is reliably greater than the objective accuracy of those judgements, especially when confidence is relatively high. Overconfidence is one example of a miscalibration of subjective probabilities.

Confidence is self-appraisal and completing the given job at your best withing caring about the result.

However, Over confidence is treating yourself as the best without having thorough knowledge about anything and talking irrelevant things.

Confidence: Working on your action & accepting failure if it comes.

Over-Confidence: Linking yourself with the end result, not the action. Taking the result to your ego.
