People at work probably think I don't want to share details of my personal life, when really I just can't remember what I did this weekend.

I've always been like this as well. I forget everything unless I think really hard about it and trace the events step by step.
There's also the autism of not wanting to be observed, so if I am to remember I have to force myself to "observe" myself through asking my own mind what I did. Which might be the reason for the "forgetting" as a way of unconscious protection.
Completely unironically a good thing to be thinking on a regular basis.
Also really helpful to keep a notepad on hand and write things down, so you don't lose track of them.
until the notepad joins the others in the void
Stop reminding me...I just consolidated some knowledgebases...
