Im 17m, and I have always talked to myself like I was my best friend, kinda because I didn't really have a lot of friends growing up. I've been doing this since I was 6, and back then, I would always have full on conversations with myself without even noticing it. As I got older, I had fewer and fewer people to really talk to outside of school and sports and never really went out with friends unless it was for sports. Now I have absolutely no social life whatsoever and noticed that I've been talking to myself like there's someone next to me. I feel like im going to be doing this until the day I die, which im totally fine with that, but is this normal, or do I need to socialize more?

This has been on my mind for the longest because I turn 18 in a year, and I wonder if it would be healthy to masturbate even after you turn 18. I keep seeing videos that say that masturbation as an adult is harmful and makes you weak in the mind, is that actually true, or are they just spreading misinformation?
