No they are different and used for different things
The tone of this excerpt from Maureen Daly's famous story "Sixteen" is primarily intimate, but also frank, sentimental, chatty, colloquial, and a little bit impassioned. The narrator is describing, informally and enthusiastically, a casual, but seemingly very cherished, encounter with a boy, and she appears to be very comfortable sharing her intimate feelings with her interlocutor, judging by some of her expressions - "don't be silly, I told you before, I get around," "Don't you see? This was different," or "It was all so lovely."
