× If I like chatting with friends, for instance, let's say if I have something interesting to share with, uh, one of my best friend, then I would like to chat with my friend.

✓ If I like chatting with friends, for instance, let's say if I have something interesting to share with, uh, one of my best friends, then I would like to chat with my friend.

The preposition 'with' is correctly used here, but the noun 'friend' should be plural 'friends' to match 'one of my best friends' since 'one of' implies a selection from multiple friends.

× If I like chatting with friends, for instance, let's say if I have something interesting to share with, uh, one of my best friend, then I would like to chat with my friend.

✓ If I like chatting with friends, for instance, let's say if I have something interesting to share with, uh, one of my best friends, then I would like to chat with my friend.

The phrase 'one of my best friend' is incorrect because 'one of' requires a plural noun following it. It should be 'one of my best friends'.

× Otherwise I'm kind of self absorbed person.

✓ Otherwise I'm kind of a self-absorbed person.

The noun phrase 'self absorbed person' requires an article 'a' before it, and 'self absorbed' should be hyphenated as 'self-absorbed' to correctly form a compound adjective.

× I recently talked with my bro best friend a few days ago uh, regarding umm, uh, visa screening program that he was needing asking help for.

✓ I recently talked to my bro best friend a few days ago, uh, regarding, umm, uh, the visa screening program that he needed help with.

The verb 'talk' is usually followed by the preposition 'to' when indicating the person spoken to. Also, 'needing asking help for' is incorrect; it should be 'needed help with' to correctly express the request for assistance.

× If I have to share the information with multiple people, then I'll like to chat with a group of people that requires the information.

✓ If I have to share the information with multiple people, then I'd like to chat with a group of people that require the information.

The phrase 'that requires the information' is incorrect because 'group of people' is plural in meaning, so the verb should be 'require' to agree with the plural subject.

× Otherwise, I would love to talk to only a person.

✓ Otherwise, I would love to talk to only one person.

The phrase 'only a person' is awkward; 'only one person' is more natural and clear when referring to a single individual.

× If possible, I prefer to communicate face to face because it's easier to communicate, uh, watching the body language and facial expression.

✓ If possible, I prefer to communicate face to face because it's easier to communicate, uh, by watching the body language and facial expressions.

The verb 'communicate' followed by 'watching' requires the preposition 'by' to indicate the means. Also, 'facial expression' should be plural 'facial expressions' to match 'body language'.

× However, now nowadays social media is advanced and convenient for everyone and it uh, since we are busy in our life and it helps our uh, staying connected with our loved one.

✓ However, nowadays social media is advanced and convenient for everyone, and since we are busy in our lives, it helps us stay connected with our loved ones.

The phrase 'now nowadays' is redundant; 'nowadays' suffices. 'Busy in our life' should be 'busy in our lives' to match plural. 'Helps our staying connected' is incorrect; it should be 'helps us stay connected'. 'Loved one' should be plural 'loved ones' to refer to multiple people.

× If I reach to a point there where I have to argue with a friend, I would rather choose to maintain a distance because it's better to stay calm and avoid conflict to maintain good friendship.

✓ If I reach a point where I have to argue with a friend, I would rather choose to maintain a distance because it's better to stay calm and avoid conflict to maintain a good friendship.

The phrase 'reach to a point' is incorrect; 'reach a point' is correct. Also, 'maintain good friendship' requires an article 'a' before 'good friendship'.
