Confidence is something that refrains us from not doing the required process to achieve the result.

However, overconfidence stops us from doing the required process even before achieving the result because we are too sure of our capabilities.

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.

So basically, confidence enables the person to gain a positive impact.

No matter what, even if he fails, he still makes that as a reason to improve himself.

Overconfidence means that a person himself thinks, he is the only best and perfect person.

Confidence is built on the practice of one's skills and abilities while being receptive to improvement.

Overestimating one's capacity and disregarding the challenges is what overconfidence is all about.

Confidence is when we feel sure about our actions and make the right decisions.

We believe in our ability to do something and have faith in ourselves. On the other hand, overconfidence is excessive belief in our abilities, overlooking the fact that we can be wrong too.

Confidence is to believe in yourself with right logical and methodological approach, facts and ability to prove your point.

Over confidence I think is to stick to one thing without listening to others and not being able to believe on your colleagues.
