Confidence is only "too much" when you make a mistake, and realize your confidence was misplaced from its root, losing everything you've built in the process. Your empty shell, void of will, begging for the boot because you're not even worth being stepped on, is leather in an outside workshop. Stopping the immediate blood loss will get you further than you think. People can even survive in the vacuum of space for a moment.
