I think this is a human thing, not just an Aspie thing. Perhaps seeing it as a push or inspiration to start creating, not just a decent, OK, life, but the amazing life you really want.
lol you sounded so much like me its scary ive started 22 idea's for graphic novels an finished none and i always compare myself to other people and find myself coming up short lets just hope this is just a restless phase we all get and it'll just take some time to pass
I can relate. I think I can do everything, that all that holds me back is my own laziness, and get frustrated when I can't perform. Basically, it's a kind of grandiosity.
Being aware is the first step. Until a few years ago I had no idea. How to correct it is quite another - not one I've yet been able to work out. I've improved in some areas. "Have no expectations" has been a useful mantra at times.
Like you, I await advice from people who've worked through this problem.
I'm sorry to be no help at all, but I'm comforted to know there are others out there like me!
