I gather most people don't imagine themselves internally to be an old person. Lots of old folks say this

I hear people without ADHD say this. I didn't every associate thus with ADHD.

I certainly feel younger than my body. I always lagged behind socially, and it became a larger and larger gap as I got older. Ironically I'm incredibly skilled at getting ahead in my professional life, but in my personal life all of my friends are ~10 years younger than me and I vibe with their energy and mindset.
