Do other people with AS/ HFA feel this way?

I feel lack of motivation. Sometimes I motivate myself to achieve things, like finishing a course, have an own apartment, renovate it. Sometimes I do it quietly, like here typing not on my own language, or cycling the way I do. I'm not seeking for acknowledgement from others, but I feel good when someone talks about me in appreciation. I know I haven't achieved much in my life, and there are others who have a lot more. I hate when I'm compared to them, while I can't avoid sometimes comparing myself to them and feel anxious.

I think the NT drive to climb Everest or cross the Atlantic in a canoe or go down Niagara falls in a barrell is a method in attention seeking and in the course of events sensation seeking
