I'm quite satisfied with my life as it is now.

Ah, I got the impression when you said

I have this problem, too

that you viewed this as a problem, but I guess now that you were just continuing the already-established word choice.

ETA: Something to note... you seem to be distinguishing yourself by your aversion to effort:

"hey, not my problem" ... "I wouldn't go especially far out of my way to, though, in practice." "as much energy ... as I'd be willing to put into cleaning my house the normal way (which is, um, not actually very much)"

That doesn't mean you care or feel strongly about avoiding effort moreso than the people your description aims to distinguish you from, but simply that you assign more negative utility to it.
