Car smells like gas after filling up my tank

I recently filled up my 2016 Honda Civic today at the gas station and I noticed that, after the pump clicks and stops filling, I take it out and saw that there's still a bit of fuel flowing around even though I felt I didn't "overfill" it. When I put my car in the garage for the night, my family told me that it has a strong scent of gasoline and advised me to take the car out of the garage for the night. This isn't the first time that this has happened to my vehicle and it made me wonder if my vehicle has a fuel leak or if something related to the fuel tank itself is damaged. Can anyone please advise me on this? Thanks in advance.
