I have to watch myself, because I keep thinking you're early 40s, even though I know you're older than that. I don't in any way think that it's because you seem immature-- Instead, I think it's because you're always finding out about new things and you have progressive political views (which I associate with younger people). But then, in my head, I'm only in my 40s, too!
I don't know that I notice that you treat me differently. I suppose the only thing strange about people misunderstanding my age is that they assume I want a family, and I thought I was finally getting to a point in my life where I wouldn't have to keep dealing with that question.
In my head, I don't feel much different than maybe 20, but I have more experience with life and am a little less naive. I am surprised when I remember that something happened 15 years ago, or longer, because it seems like yesterday.
Isn't it strange, how we feel inside younger than we actually are? I keep wondering about that, because it seems to be a pretty universal phenomenon. Is it a kind of denial of aging?

I thought you were younger than you are. It's definitely a compliment.
