× In my daily life, I do not spend much time chatting with my friends, whether it's personally face to face or on phone.

✓ In my daily life, I do not spend much time chatting with my friends, whether it's personally face to face or on the phone.

The phrase 'on phone' is missing the definite article 'the'. When referring to using the phone in general, the correct prepositional phrase is 'on the phone'. This is a common preposition and article usage in English.

× ...I cannot come up right now with.

✓ ...I cannot come up with right now.

The phrasal verb 'come up with' requires the preposition 'with' to directly follow the verb 'come up'. Placing 'with' at the end of the sentence is correct, but the phrase 'come up right now with' is awkward and incorrect. The correct order is 'come up with right now'.

× Actually, I do not have that many friends and usually when we get together it's only two of us.

✓ Actually, I do not have that many friends and usually when we get together, there are only two of us.

The phrase 'it's only two of us' incorrectly uses 'it' to refer to 'two of us'. Since 'two of us' is plural, the correct pronoun or verb form should reflect plurality. Using 'there are only two of us' correctly matches the plural subject.

× And uh, As for your question, I must say that I do usually, uh, sorry, I do prefer to speak to 1 friend because it makes it more meaningful.

✓ And uh, as for your question, I must say that I usually do prefer to speak to one friend because it makes it more meaningful.

The phrase 'I do usually' is awkward; the adverb 'usually' should come before the auxiliary verb 'do' for natural word order: 'I usually do prefer'. Also, '1' should be written as 'one' in formal writing or speech transcripts.

× So I grew up when social media didn't exist and that lead to lead to me preferring to communicate face to face.

✓ So I grew up when social media didn't exist and that led to me preferring to communicate face to face.

The verb 'lead' in past tense should be 'led'. The original sentence uses the base form 'lead' instead of the past tense 'led', which is incorrect for past events.

× Yes, and we do argue a lot because my friends view me as a very interesting and literate person.

✓ Yes, and we do argue a lot because my friends view me as a very interesting and literate person.

No correction needed here; the sentence is grammatically correct regarding singular and plural usage.

× For example, I can have a really deep conversations about spirituality, psychology, politics and many more.

✓ For example, I can have really deep conversations about spirituality, psychology, politics and many more.

The phrase 'a really deep conversations' mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'conversations'. The article 'a' should be removed to match the plural noun 'conversations'.
