Has this been your experience with writing documentation or are you just saying this because it’s obvious.

I only ask because, first and foremost, documentation is for you.

No. Documentation is for the code or the project, for any reader. Proper documentation can be read and understood by anyone that needs to interact with the project. I don't know when it was decided that "documentation is for yourself" but I very much disagree.
Documentation is for yourself in 2 years.
