I'm sure I will do this ---> It's confidence.

I'm not sure I will do this or not but because of some reason, I say 'yes' I can also do this --> Overconfidence.

Confidence is a positive and healthy trait that is based on self-awareness, experience, and knowledge, whereas overconfidence is an unrealistic and excessive belief in one's abilities that can lead to poor decision-making and risky behaviour.

Confidence is the ability to do something by ourselves with good knowledge.

Overconfidence is the same but they don't have much knowledge about that and also they pretend like they have and others feel like there is no sense in that.

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 like belief in your capabilities with backing of proper preparation.

While overconfidence is trying beyond capabilities without enough preparation or overestimating abilities.

With example I am explaining this.

Suppose we are working with a team, so According to me,

Confidence is yeah surely we can do this (speaking positively & calmly).

Whereas.

Overconfidence is only we can do this no other people can (speaking loudly i.e. in different tone or we can say rudely also).

This emotion given in brackets also matters while answering.

Confidence is considering all the aspects of the task and saying I believe in myself, over confidence is saying what come may I do not care I know that nobody could stop me.

Confidence: I can do the work with my hard work.

Overconfidence: No one can do this I can only do this, but he is not do something for his work, dreaming something.

In Confidence, a person says I can do this work (he says it politely).

But in OVER-CONFIDENCE a person says I can definitely do this work without observing the circumstances.
