× Yes, I love having chat with my friends because I'm able to connect with them on a different level.

✓ Yes, I love having chats with my friends because I'm able to connect with them on a different level.

The phrase 'having chat' is incorrect because 'chat' is a countable noun here and should be pluralized as 'chats' when used with 'having'. The correct form is 'having chats'.

× When we're talking, we discussed about many different things.

✓ When we're talking, we discuss many different things.

The sentence mixes present continuous 'we're talking' with past tense 'we discussed'. To maintain tense consistency, use present tense 'we discuss'. Also, 'discuss' does not require the preposition 'about'.

The verb 'discuss' is transitive and does not require the preposition 'about'. Using 'discuss about' is incorrect.

× Sometimes it's about our career and what we're going to do in future, and sometime we simply shoot the breeze.

✓ Sometimes it's about our careers and what we're going to do in the future, and sometimes we simply shoot the breeze.

'Career' should be plural 'careers' because it refers to multiple people. 'Sometime' should be 'sometimes' to indicate frequency. Also, 'in future' should be 'in the future' with the definite article.

✓ sometimes we talk about current research we know of, and most of the time it's about the future paths that we're going to consider.

'Research' is an uncountable noun and does not need 'a'. 'Most of the times' should be 'most of the time' as 'time' is uncountable here.

× there are a lot of things that we have in common, so I would like to discuss about it in my group.

✓ there are a lot of things that we have in common, so I would like to discuss them in my group.

The verb 'discuss' does not take the preposition 'about'. Also, 'it' should be 'them' to refer to 'things' (plural).

✓ But there are some personal things that I would only share with my best friend, so at that point I would prefer having alone time with my friend.

The verb 'share' is followed by 'with' not 'to'. Also, a comma is needed before 'so' to connect the clauses properly.

× I personally prefer directly interacting with the person rather than having a chat on phones because I'm not really a phone person.

✓ I personally prefer directly interacting with the person rather than having a chat on the phone because I'm not really a phone person.

The phrase 'on phones' is incorrect; it should be 'on the phone' when referring to phone communication.

✓ I believe it is a lot harder for you to express your feelings when you're discussing a certain topic over the phone, and this can generate a lot of misunderstandings between each other, so it's better to.

The verb 'discuss' does not require 'about'. Also, 'over phones' should be 'over the phone'.

✓ I believe that as individual persons, we all have our own perspectives and it is OK to disagree with someone as long as you're not disrespecting them or crossing your boundaries.

'An individual person' should be plural 'individual persons' to match 'we all'. Also, 'unless you're not disrespecting' is incorrect; 'as long as you're not disrespecting' is appropriate.

× So yes, I do argue with my friends, but I never disrespect them.

✓ So yes, I do argue with my friends, but I never disrespect them.

This sentence is correct and requires no correction.
