× I definitely like chatting with friends, it's actually one of my, umm, interest in doing so every day because I like protecting my mental health and I believe that talking with friends will be beneficial for me.
✓ I definitely like chatting with friends; it's actually one of my interests to do every day because I like protecting my mental health and I believe that talking with friends is beneficial for me.
Use plural 'interests' to match 'one of my' which requires a plural noun. Also use 'to do' for purpose and change 'will be' to 'is' for a general truth. Suggestions: replace 'one of my interest' with 'one of my interests' and use a semicolon or separate clauses for clarity.
× Well, we usually chat about life, umm, we talked about how we can improve our life better when it comes to our jobs, when it comes to our relationships, and we also love traveling, so we talk about traveling all over the world together.
✓ Well, we usually chat about life; we talk about how we can improve our lives regarding our jobs and relationships, and we also love traveling, so we talk about traveling all over the world together.
Consistency of tense: 'usually chat' is present habitual, so 'we talked' should be 'we talk'. Also use plural 'lives' to match plural subject 'we'. 'Improve our life better' is redundant; use 'improve our lives'. Suggestions: keep present tense for habitual actions and match plural nouns with plural subjects.
× I prefer to chat with a group of people, but not a big group. I am a person with only a handful of friends, so I usually share with them my experiences every day and talk about anything in life.
✓ I prefer to chat with a small group of people rather than a large one. I have only a handful of friends, so I usually share my experiences with them and we talk about anything in life.
'Not a big group' is colloquial; 'a small group' or 'rather than a large one' is clearer. 'I am a person with only a handful of friends' is wordy; 'I have only a handful of friends' is concise and natural. Also reorder 'share my experiences with them'. Suggestions: use precise quantifiers and natural subject-verb phrasing.
× I prefer to communicate face to face as I am able to see their facial expressions and emotions more as compared to communicating via social media.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face because I can see their facial expressions and emotions more than when communicating via social media.
Use 'because' for reason and 'more than when' for a clear comparison. 'As compared to' is wordy and awkward here. Also 'am able to' can be simplified to 'can'. Suggestions: prefer concise comparative structures: 'more than when' or 'more than through'.
× I'm a PER, I'm a very deep person so I really want to feel and experience how this person felt.
✓ I'm a very deep person, so I really want to feel and experience how another person feels.
Pronoun 'PER' is unclear and should be removed. 'This person felt' mixes past tense; use present 'feels' when describing general desire to understand someone's feelings. Also use 'another person' or 'other people' for generalization. Suggestions: remove unclear tokens and keep tense consistent.
× Well, I don't really argue with friends sometimes when they tell me uh, a different thing or different to what I believe in.
✓ Well, I don't really argue with friends, even when they tell me something different from what I believe.
Avoid 'sometimes' conflicting with 'don't really'; rephrase for clarity. Use 'tell me something different from' rather than 'different to'. 'Different from' is standard in many varieties of English. Suggestions: simplify to 'I don't really argue with friends, even when they tell me something different from what I believe.'
× I just keep an open mind and listen to what they're saying and whenever I need to feel like saying my opinion also I'm happy that they also.
✓ I just keep an open mind and listen to what they're saying; when I feel the need to give my opinion, I'm happy that they do too.
Original sentence is ungrammatical and awkward. 'Whenever I need to feel like saying my opinion also I'm happy that they also' contains redundant 'also' and unclear subjects. Rephrase to a clearer structure: 'when I feel the need to give my opinion, I'm happy that they do too.' Suggestions: remove redundancies, split into two clauses, and ensure parallel structure.
