Confidence is when we feel sure about our abilities and make the right decisions. It is the feeling when we have faith in ourselves. And on the other hand, over confidence is when we take our abilities in excessive way overlooking the fact that we can be wrong too. So Confidence gives us strength and over confidence weakens.

CONFIDENCE is something which pushes our inner self to a level positively without any hesitation or nervousness, but at the same time.

OVER CONFIDENCE is something that suppresses our polite side and raises up an ultra energy of you only succeeding again and again, and no one can do better than you, which leads to downfall!

Confidence means take your past mistakes and overcome with confidently.

Over confidence means for example your working in a team of both testing and development you are in development module and also aware of testing modules but with out talking help from testing members, you go with extreme step that is over confidence.

The difference between confidence and over-confidence in what we believe in any task. That is;

If we are sure about a task or action or activity result with past experience and right decisions, it is confidence.

Although aiming for the same but without considering the facts, it is over confidence.

Thank you mam/sir.

Confidence gives you enough strength to explain yourself- either speak/or write way abilities within yourself.

& Overconfidence proves your disabilities in different ways like not going through without any type of interruption. Every time difficulty came in it way and is unsuccessful in finding out-solution to it.

Confidence is like strength and it will definitely help us to achieve anything in our life.

But overconfidence is completely opposite because without hardworking and effort a person can't get success in life.

So, when we get clarity about our hard work then only confidence and overconfidence should work in balance.

"I can do this work" - confidence.

"Only I can do this work" - overconfidence.

Confidence is more about respecting the potential of yourself while overconfidence is about disrespecting the potential of others.

Being confident helps you reach your goals while overconfidence takes you further away from your goals.

Confidence meant for the correct knowledge you have and overconfidence means you even don't want to listen the facts and not willing to gain more knowledge about the particular thing, you start thinking that the knowledge you have is sufficient and 100 percent correct without listening anyone or ignoring the facts.

In my point of view, confidence is the key role that everyone should have and overconfidence is the one which is a negative quality that everyone should avoid.

Confidence comes when you know that you are capable of doing the work even though you are not capable enough you should be confident in some situations.

The main difference between confidence and overconfidence.

Confidence means I can do this work with my skill and knowledge while overconfidence means that I can only do this work, no one can do this work.

The possibility of success in confidence is 100%. While in overconfidence it is not sure to be a success.
