Confidence tells our positive attitude and overconfidence tells that over attitude. Confidence in oneself is required to achieve something but overconfidence makes oneself into a different way of approach. Confidence is good for everything but with overconfidence, one can not reach heights.

Here is an only small difference, if I say am suitable for this job it's my confidence but if I say am the only one suitable for this job it's my over-confidence.
That means, confidence is good understanding about our strength and over-confidence is like one underestimating other people.

Confidence is the state of mind where one thinks that he can accomplish a task and he actually has the skills and abilities required to do so. Over-confidence is the state of mind where one thinks that he can accomplish a task but he actually does not have skills and abilities to do so.

The difference is only in the belief of a person, both come from hard work but being overconfident towards something needs more passion towards it than a person can think of. It's not bad you know being overconfident, it only depends on individual perception of things as I said earlier.

Firstly, I would like to thanks for asking this question.
Confidence is nothing but what we have belief and I can do purpose of only for self not for others.
Overconfidence means doubting themselves only without knowing thir strengths & weakness they only think I will do like that.

Confidence means the person has the detailed knowledge of his work, resulting in that he/she performs successfully. On the other hand, overconfident person doesn't have detailed knowledge of their work but still, the person thinks that he can do it which results he/she fails mostly.

Look there is a minor line between the two words confidence and over confidence.
Confidence is when you have faith in achieving something. Confidence is good though. But over confidence is when you start feeling superior to others like only you can do this. This is overconfidence.
