The word 'homeworks' is incorrect because 'homework' is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form. Also, 'something seems' should be 'something that seems' to correctly connect the clause.

✓ To be honest, I would rather have two-person conversations because I find myself more comfortable and thoughtful whenever I talk with only one friend.
The phrase 'would rather' is followed directly by the base form of the verb without 'to'. Also, 'two people conversations' should be 'two-person conversations' to correctly use the compound adjective. 'Thought booking' is incorrect; likely intended 'thoughtful'.
