I have literally been thinking and telling others that I was 43 this year until I just had to enroll in my own healthcare and found out in the application process that I am actually 44.
Paperwork: "What is your age?"
Pixelscience: "I didn't know there was going to be a test today!"
I did something similar (but in a nicer way for me). The entire age of 35 I thought I was 36, and I found out on my 36th birthday that I was gonna be 36 for a second year in a row.
I told my friends that I hate turning 39. And my wife shouted, "You're 40!" And I died a bit inside.
I decided to start counting backwards last year, forgot, and thought i was 44 instead of 45 all year :( I also lost the ability to do basic arithmetic when someone pointed out my real age.
I lost count one year and since then I've had to work it out based on the current year.
