It absolutely applies to irl achievements too, though I don't have many of those. My parents are supportive and great but it's not really the same as having a social circle where you can share your achievements.
But this feeling is perfectly exemplified by video games. I like playing on challenging modes. I beat a game just now on the hardest difficulty all the way through, only 3.7% of the people who own the game on steam have this achievement, and I got another hard achievement on the first try while a lot of people online complained that they took forever with that one too. But it doesn't matter at all. Only I will ever see it. Normal people have friends they talk with, they at least have a conversation or two talking about what they played and how they beat it at the hardest difficulty etc... But not me. I'm an avoidant, autistic prick who wants that kind of social interaction and yet is too anxious to not avoid people as much as possible, even online.
