We seem pretty similar! I've felt this way for a while as well. I like going to work, paying the bills, doing the dishes, etc. I also rarely get carded -- waiters have been asking me if I'd like to order a drink since I was around 14! I was also always cast as the middle-aged characters in high school plays :P.

I wonder if looking older has some weird relationship to this: maybe looking older causes people to treat you subtly differently, leading to more "adultlike" behavior earlier? I have 0 evidence for this though haha.
