Maybe this explains how I haven't gotten it yet despite being in proximity repeatedly (living with) someone who was positive, as well as being in groups where I was the only one who didn't end up with it. Fascinating. I thought maybe I was resistant because I drink so much water, haha.

  ^^ Obviously it's very unlikely to have significant effect, my family was amused because it's the only obvious thing I do differently from most people.

You may have had it and just never noticed it. My wife tested positive, and as a precaution i went in for a test as well. Turns out i also had COVID-19, but during the week or so i tested positive, i didn't feel as much as a slight fever. There were litteraly zero symptoms. My wife also had a pretty mild case, although it was more like a bad cold, and the kids had the same experience as me, zero symptoms.

  I considered this, but tested frequently, always negative. It also would've been likely I'd have transmitted it to someone and heard they got sick after I was with them.

  I had the opposite. My wife and I sat in front of a lady hacking and blowing her nose on a 6 hour flight. A few days later my wife was sick and tested positive after 2 days. I was sick a day later, same symptoms, and never tested positive once after 3 tries. Possible we were sick at the same time with the same exposure with 2 different things? Maybe? But unlikely to me since we'd been on vacation together and to the same places for the last 10 days. Both of us were in the mild symptoms/cold symptoms range, so I also wonder if a home test just wasn't sensitive enough for me to test positive on for some reason.
