Examiner
Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?

I don't have any preference about the two cases either. Uh, I'll just go with the flow if it is a friends group which art and we pull each other's legs and that keeps the conversations lively and uh, more fun. But if they have something specifically to discuss with some person, I'll just go with the personal chat with friends.

× I do like chatting with friends, that keeps me busy and I feel entertained while chatting with them.
✓ I do like chatting with friends; that keeps me busy and I feel entertained while chatting with them.
The original sentence is a run-on sentence. Using a semicolon or separating into two sentences improves clarity and correctness.
× To actually grant jokes, they pull someone's legs and it's quite interesting for me to chat with friends.
✓ To actually tell jokes, they pull someone's legs and it's quite interesting for me to chat with friends.
The phrase 'grant jokes' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'tell jokes' when referring to sharing jokes.

The correct preposition with 'chat' is 'about' not 'on'. Also, 'some topic' should be plural 'some topics' to match the context, and 'gives' should be 'makes' to correctly describe the effect.

✓ There is no particular topic we chat about, but quite a few times we chat about movies and, uh, we talk about university lecturers, so we make fun of each other regarding some topics which makes it lively and fun.
The phrase 'some topic' is singular but should be plural 'some topics' to agree with the plural context. Also, 'gives a lively and fun' is incomplete; 'makes it lively and fun' is correct.
× If there is no option for uh, in person chatting, I'll just go with the social media.
✓ If there is no option for, uh, in-person chatting, I'll just go with social media.
'Social media' is uncountable and does not require 'the'. Also, 'in person' should be hyphenated as 'in-person' when used as an adjective.

✓ We actually argue a lot, so I don't call it arguing and we just debate topics which are really quite popular these days.

× For example, we just discuss on cricket topics which is related to IPL.
✓ For example, we just discuss cricket topics which are related to IPL.
'Discuss on' is incorrect; 'discuss' does not require a preposition. Also, 'topics which is' should be 'topics which are' to agree in number.
