You are using aloofeness to describe forgetfulness as a personality trait. Forgetfulness is not the same as being "remote or distant (in terms of personality)", so it doesn't make sense in this context.

Aloof would be an antonym of attentive if if the context is with respect to social interaction.

But... hey, whatever floats yer boat.
