I think there are several people here who would disagree with you...

Yes, there are. There are many people elsewhere who would also disagree and many more people who once held that belief, no longer do and coincidentally happen to be far more successful in their romantic lives.

Anyway, being that I'm not as self-aware as many people here and am utterly terrified of anything that could be considered "work", does that make me not a good candidate? :(

You have far more self-awareness than is required. But yes, the thing with work (combined with internalized shame) would make things difficult for you. Unless, you know, you want to change. ;)
