Cocky people are usually insecure people. They need everyone to know their accomplishments in order to feel better about themselves. CONFIDENT people are secure in who they are. They aren't concerned about what other people think of them. They like themselves and know their accomplishments and positive aspects stand on their own. If people notice, great, if not, it doesn't change who they are on a day to day basis.

Don't bring up your accomplishments. People are bound to notice them on their own, and then you can politely thank them for the compliment and move on.

confident but not cocky...
there's ways :)
let's sayyy you accomplish something (YOU GET AN A+ on your math test!), dont brag about it.. but keep studying and doing good.. in the meantime someone will realize and say "wow.. youre really good.." and all you gotta do is smile and add a warm "thank you" :)
if someone compliments your appearance/personality/etc give feedback in a nice and kind way, dont brush it off as a way to throw off your insecurity like by saying "HA HA.. yeaaa i knoww.." NO.. YOU DONT!
whats the difference between cocky and confident in your mind ?
Look at that and see what are some of the biggest differences you spot out, then try to avoid those cocky moves that arent so "confident"
confident is holding your head up high where the public eye cant put you or your self esteem down.. but you take negative feedback and be smart about your choices and turn into POSITIVE FEEDBACK :)

Showing that you are confident is good while constantly bragging about yourself is bad. It is good to want to wear makeup, change haircolor, sense of style, but if you are constantly bragging about how good you look, you will make yourself look cocky. If someone compliments you for doing good at a sport don't say things like "Oh I know" or "It was nothing" but things like "Oh...well thanks!". Basically if you present yourself as though you are better than the world, you become a cocky person but if you are just trying to better yourself as a person then it is just confident.
