Confidence is taking on a task, knowing you can do it and do it well. Conceit is taking it on and rubbing it in everyone face about how good you did it. Because without receiving credit for it you have no satisfaction in doing the task.

The first three responders are definitely correct. I have been called a confident person and a cocky one and honestly I take both as a compliment.
There are certain things in life that I know for a fact that I am good at and no one can tell me different. That's just the confidence I have in myself. Am i a little self absorbed? Yeah but when you have a swagger about yourself you have a right. It can put you in bad situation though, but it's your job to manipulate those situations to look good for you.
When my book comes out you can read up on it and you will know more in greater detail.

i say confidence is anything positive u feel about yourself and ur abilities.... something that is Good, Healthy, and Helps you and possibly others
i say conceit is anything negative u Do towards others because you think highly of yourself. the minute u think u are better than others...that in itself is a Negative act. puffing yourself up to feel better so that u can compare against someone else....
confidence is something u struggle within yourself; conceit is blasting that out on to others

Confidence is just doing a task well. Conceited is telling everyone about it over and over again.

conceited is when YOU think too much of yourself.
confidence is when you know who you are and think too much of others.

confidence in self = positive attitude
conceited = being a snob

I concur with the first three responders. The differences could not have been said any clearer than they did.
