× Yes, I love chatting with friends because it helps me to connect with my favorite one.
✓ Yes, I love chatting with friends because it helps me to connect with my favorite ones.
The phrase 'my favorite one' is incorrect because 'friends' is plural, so the correct form is 'my favorite ones' to match the plural noun.
× Not only that, it sometimes give me the opportunity to exchange information and it's not always possible to talk with them, so chatting helps me a lot.
✓ Not only that, it sometimes gives me the opportunity to exchange information and it's not always possible to talk with them, so chatting helps me a lot.
The verb 'give' should be 'gives' to agree with the singular subject 'it' in the present tense.
× It depends on what topic we are going to talk.
✓ It depends on what topic we are going to talk about.
The verb 'talk' requires the preposition 'about' to indicate the subject of discussion.
× Not only that, sometimes we plan for a trip or to go outside for hang out.
✓ Not only that, sometimes we plan a trip or go outside to hang out.
The verb 'plan' does not need the preposition 'for' before 'a trip'. Also, 'for hang out' is incorrect; the correct form is 'to hang out'.
× I prefer to chat with only one friend because in Group chat everyone is too much busy and there are some situation arise when someone maybe don't reply my text.
✓ I prefer to chat with only one friend because in group chats everyone is very busy and there are some situations that arise when someone may not reply to my text.
'Group chat' should be plural 'group chats' to generalize. 'Too much busy' is incorrect; 'very busy' is correct. 'Situation' should be plural 'situations'. 'Maybe don't reply' should be 'may not reply'. Also, 'reply my text' needs the preposition 'to'.
× So I prefer text with only one friend.
✓ So I prefer to text only one friend.
The verb 'prefer' should be followed by the infinitive 'to text' rather than 'text with'. Also, 'with only one friend' is unnecessary here.

✓ I love to communicate face to face rather than via social media because nowadays social media is very common and I think it's somewhat artificial, so face-to-face communication is more preferable for me.
The phrase 'rather than social media' needs the preposition 'via' to indicate the medium. 'Like some artificial' is incorrect; 'somewhat artificial' is correct. 'For myself' should be 'for me'. Also, 'face to face' as an adjective should be hyphenated as 'face-to-face'.
× Last week I argued with my best friend Mehdi about a topic that is called the geopolitics of the Asia and the overall political situation of Bangladesh.
✓ Last week I argued with my best friend Mehdi about a topic called the geopolitics of Asia and the overall political situation of Bangladesh.
The phrase 'that is called' is unnecessary and awkward; 'called' alone suffices. 'The Asia' is incorrect; 'Asia' does not need the definite article 'the'.
