Do you still feel like a teen?

Despite turning 23 in a few months I consider myself a teenage girl at heart. I like rock, rap, pop and one country song as far as music taste goes, play video games like Just Dance, Pokemon and a bunch of other video games, watch anime and read books like "Pretty Little Liars" and "Vampire Academy".
I was looking for stuff for my room and tried looking at Pottery Barn and all of it was so dull and boring, so I started looking at Pottery Barn Teen and found some awesome things for my room that I actually like. Besides, the more grown up Pottery Barn doesn't have those awesome clothing, jewelry, shoe and beauty organizers.
Am I the only girl or woman here who still feels, acts and has the interest of a teenager? I'm not ashamed of this at all, I like who I am.

I'm 20 but I guess I grew up quickly.
I do still have interests such as Harry Potter fandom but I don't think that's me being too young - it seems fans of Harry Potter have grown and kept it. I have both met-in-real-life (most of who are considered successful and have their lives together) and online friends who are now between 20s and 30s.
I don't act or feel like a teenager. I have executive function difficulties which make me less independent but I'm otherwise quite responsible.
