Is it because I'm immature now, was mature then, or has the change been too gradual for me to notice?

I think you are different (more mature) now but it has been too gradual to notice. One experiment you could try is to re-read a book or re-see a movie that you saw when you were 16 or 17 that you still remember how you felt about, and see if you respond in the same way today. Listen to the music you loved when you were 17. Are the lyrics still like OMG they are totally about you? Or if possible, read your old diary or student essays from that age.
