I guess the sentence "I can do it" depicts confidence and the sentence "only I can do it" clearly depicts overconfidence.

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.

I will explain this answer by example :.

If I am facing any interview then interviewer ask me that why should I hire you. The I replied the answer with.

Confidence: Sir, I am fit for this job because I have more knowledge about your company.

Over confidence: Sir, I am only one who fit for this job.

I think confidence would be to do a task given without hesitation and knowing that you'll complete it. Over-confidence would be when you become too big for your boots, tend to be cocky, rushing into things than getting it all wrong.

Confidence means the person has the detailed knowledge of his work, resulting in that he/she performs successfully. On the other hand, overconfident person doesn't have detailed knowledge of their work but still, the person thinks that he can do it which results he/she fails mostly.

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 : it means that I have knowledge about my work and I can say confidently that I can do this work.

Over confidence : it means the person didn't have any knowledge about their work and still that person is saying that I can do this work.
