Sir,
Confidence is somewhat that, when a person knows both sides and thinks I will try my best my to solve the problem. And over-confidence is when he blindly guesses and thinks he can solve any problem. |

| Confidence is, whenever we give the assurance to do some work with enough knowledge, but the over confidence is whenever we give the assurance to do some work without any knowledge. |

The confidence is one which is built when you realise that this a task which can be done by you and overconfidence is stage when you think it is like a childs play to me.
In confidence person sometimes gets victory or sometimes defeat but in overconfidence you always gets defeat. |

| If someone says "I can do it" then its his confidence and if he says "it is always possible to me at any time. I am the perfect one to do it" then its his overconfidence. |

A person who is confident respects the work and starts the work on day 1 so that he can finish the work on time.
Whereas the person who is overconfident neglects the work with a thinking that he can achieve anything and starts the work, before the day of submission. |

'Over confidence' has one word more than 'Confidence'.
Trying for this kind of different example is Confidence.
Thinking this is the Smartest answer is Over Confidence. |

Confidence and overconfidence - Both are Psychological situation of an individual.
A confident state is when individual is aware about both sides of coins.
An over-confident state is BIASED state when an individual thinks/considers only a single side of coin.
In realms of Psychology & philosophy, Both states are **indistinguishable**.
But in Practical realms, both are measurable. Because they cannot be measured until results are out.
For example i can give you Paradoxical example to illustrate my point.
An example is classic Einstein-Schrodinger debate over Quantum reality that made Einstein to state famous quote "God does not play dices.". Many agreed with Him. But later he proved to be wrong!!.
Same applies when Newton's Corpuscular theory was rejected and then again rethought for dual nature of light.
Even Birthday Paradox. Both are just perceptions. |

Confidence in the sense feeling that he can do anything without any obstacles. If so he can overcome that using his knowledge.
Over confidence in the sense he is not knowledgeable but he shown to be a wise person. |

Knowledge is confident: Confidence comes from the knowledge if you have knowledge on the subject then you can show yourself as a confident.
Overconfident shows you do not have knowledge only you are showing yourself you are wise man. |

| There is a huge difference between "confidence" and "over confidence". "confidence" is something that makes us determine that we can do it but "overconfidence" may indulge some one in problem as it is something that creates ego that only I can do it. |

According to my opinion Confidence means make a assertion of that I can do the particular job and over confidence means make a assertion of that I can only do the particular job.
The one word "Only" make a huge difference between confidence and over confidence.
We can also see the example like A story of hare and tortoise. In which hare was over confidence that he will win the race and tortoise had the confidence that I will win the race with patience. Here confidence show "success" and over confidence show "failure". |

In my view, Confidence is the key to prove yourself right whereas an over confidence person fizzle in proving his or her own statement.
Confidence makes a person feel relaxed whereas over confidence always leaves you in doubt. |

According to me, these two words make a huge difference in themselves.
For example as I have mentioned in my resume that I like to play chess so if in any game if I say that I will win that's my confidence while if I say that nobody can beat me that's my overconfidence means confidence is a positive trait while overconfidence is negative trait as I am underestimating other persons. |

| There is a thin line which distinguishes a confident person from an overconfident person. Often the difference lies in the way people perceive success. Confidence is believing that one will pass, overconfidence is believing that one would never fail. |

The mainly difference between the confidence and the over confidence is that.
If a person doing any work with his overall concentration by taking all his confidence it makes him success but that work only if a person did all his over confidence by considering extra expectation it may that work will not succeeded that mean his not doing that work with full of his concentration but his thinking some expectation so that is the main reason why sometimes the over confidence leads to the man unsuccessful. |

| Confidence is a positive attitude to handle a situation or doing a work, and it helps in our growth, ex, in a team work, a confident person spreads great energy to other team members with his attitude, while overconfidence really hampers our growth, overconfident person try to initiate or be the boss type in a group never considering the talents of other group members, which mostly spreads a negative energy and discomfort to others, and the result will be negative too. So we can have I can do attitude but not I only can. |

According to me, two words make a huge difference in themselves.
Confidence: "I can do this job. ".
Over-confidence: "Only I can do this job. ".
The words differ only in one word "ONLY", but this "only" will decide the path of your life either towards promotion or towards demotion. |

Some of the people above are talking about arrogance not overconfidence.
1. 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.
2. Overconfidence is excessive belief in their own abilities ignoring the fact that their decision can be wrong too. |

| Confidence is when a person knows that he can do the work while over confidence is when he knows that he can do work but takes it for granted and puts less or no efforts. This degrades the ability to work hard. And deteriorates our work quality and efficiency. |

Confident, which enables the person to be calm, silent and be in thinking about how to do the work effectively and efficiently.
Where as over confidence degrades your performance that you have already. |

"Nothing is impossible" is confidence,
But
"Everything is possible" is overconfidence.
The "Everything" word creates the big difference between confidence and over confidence. |

Some of us think confidence give success but over confidence give only failure. According to the place and situation, Confidence & over confidence are differ. Not at all Over confidence give failure.
There is no difference in these two. In some stage Which confidence is become a over confidence that's all. If who could tell "only I can do this" they are not a over confident people they are mad. Any one can do any thing of their practice. |

Confidence give us strengths to do the task.
But overconfidence losses our confidence.
The difference between confidence and overconfidence is over expectations on the task. |

Hi,
Confidence means that I m ready to do this thing but there is also a little fear in my mind that whether I will succeed or not.
Over confidence means that I will surely do this. Then its depends upon the time or his experience, that he succeed or not.
So its better to have an over confidence before starting any work rather to have a fear in our mind. :-).
If someone succeeded in their work, people say that he was confident, but if not, then they say that he was over confident. So here we can say that people are there self not confident at the starting, that the person is confident or over confident. There is no instrument to measure confidence or over confidence.
Now if we talk about the old story of mare and tortoise, here the mare was not over confident but was foolish. We should have over confidence to start but should not stop without succeeding our goal.
Thanks. :-). |
