Confidence is yes I can do this.
Over confidence is I am the only person who can do this.

In other words,

Confident people may say I will achieve my goal one day.
But overconfident people may say I will definitely achieve my goal.

IF I say, I can do this work then this is a confidence.

In a particular situation, If I say this work is only done by me then this is an overconfidence.
