× I'm looking for a opportunity to study in, uh, university for my masters.

✓ I'm looking for an opportunity to study at a university for my master's.

The article 'a' should be 'an' before a vowel sound like 'opportunity'. Also, 'in university' is better expressed as 'at a university' in this context. Additionally, 'masters' should be possessive as 'master's' to indicate the degree.

× I think I prefer to chat with only one firm because in that case we can chat face to face and exchange each others ideas better.

✓ I think I prefer to chat with only one friend because in that case we can chat face to face and exchange each other's ideas better.

The word 'firm' is incorrect here; it should be 'friend' to match the context. Also, 'each others ideas' should be 'each other's ideas' to show possession.

× If I chat with a group of people then I can't really umm release myself to umm say my opinions and especially when I don't know those people well.

✓ If I chat with a group of people, then I can't really release myself to say my opinions, especially when I don't know those people well.

The phrase 'release myself to say my opinions' is awkward; 'express myself' would be better, but since only grammar corrections are requested, removing unnecessary fillers and adding commas improves clarity. Also, the sentence needs a comma after the introductory clause.

× I definitely prefer to communicate face to face because umm, when you communicate via social media like online, you cannot see each other's facial expressions so it's hard for you to guess what each other's feeling and it's it.

✓ I definitely prefer to communicate face to face because, when you communicate via social media like online, you cannot see each other's facial expressions, so it's hard for you to guess what each other is feeling, and it always leads to misunderstandings.

The phrase 'what each other's feeling' is incorrect; it should be 'what each other is feeling' to use the correct pronoun and verb agreement. Also, 'and it's it' is unclear and should be 'and it always leads to misunderstandings' to complete the thought.
