Confidence means believe in yourself like maybe I do this or I can do this but overconfidence means arrogance like no one can cheat me or no one has an ability to cheat me I can do any work easily.

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.

Confidence means what we boost ourself to do a task and by boosting ourself we will get more confidence.

Confidence will not get from others, it will get from when we keep (re-doing) doing to achieve anything we want.

Overconfidence will get from those who have more talent better than us.

Those who have confidence they do the task in their real life with reality. But those who have overconfidence they will assume in their mind that I will complete this better than others and only I can complete.

Simply, confidence leads to success.

Overconfidence leads to fail.

Saying that "I can finish the challenges on time" is a confidence while saying "I will finish the challenge before the time" is overconfidence.

Basically, what we know about our calibre to reveal that is confidence while revealing more than that is overconfidence.

There is a step between confidence and over confidence and that is hardwork sometimes followed by knowledge. If you do hardwork to gain your knowledge then you are full of confidence. The best example is when you gain some practical knowledge by doing a lot of hardwork. And this confidence can be turned into overconfidence if there is no such step.
