Maybe you weren't "more mature", you just matured academically at the same time as other people were maturing socially. In that case you were differently mature, but not more so.
One of my biggest pet peeves is people who mistake introversion with maturity. I'm an introvert (I'm quite shy too), but I don't believe I am all that mature and I don't believe being an extrovert is related to being immature. I'm not sure of that is what you're getting at.
Is it normal for a teenager to be this mature?

That may be, but today I am an introvert. In other words, I don't work well with other people or talk much.
Also, it's not the same as being shy, because a shy person wants to socialize but can't and an introvert is happy just having a tiny list of friends.

No, not at all. Introversion is not instant maturity. I've seen plenty of introverts act like little school girls in front of their friends.
