What is the line between confidence and arrogance/narcissism?

Seems like a lot of people are told to be more confident, but I see a lot of shows of confidence being met with accusations of narcissism and arrogance. How can you be confident without taking it too far? What's the perfect amount of confidence?

in any case other than socially, the line is when you start putting in less effort because you think you're so good that you can get away with it.

in a social context, i'd say the line is when you act as though you're above other people without being given that position. To be socially confident is to gracefully accept risk, but prepared for the possibility that it may backfire.
