Preparing for something and having a feeling that you will perform well at it is confidence and not preparing for something but still thinking that you will perform excellently at it is over confidence.

Confidence means you Believe that you can do a task.

Over confidence means without observing the present situation you just Think that you can do that task.

Hence you can say it imagination.

Hi, this is Vijay.

Confidence:- He/she has the confidence to accept the challenges overcoming by their continuous practices. This will result to the good results.

Overconfidence:- He/she had the good results in last time so they have the idea it is too easy to get the good result this time also without practice. But now it guides them to a failure.

Sir, Confidence is the good trait to have where a person is sure about his course of action or activity and it comes from past success and right decisions.

Overconfidence is excessive belief in their own abilities ignoring the fact that their decision can be wrong too.

Thank you, Sir.
