Do you prefer to chat with a group of people or with only one friend?

I like talking with only one friend because I think talking with one person makes the communication more meaningful and impactful. While talking with several group of people, I feel more awkward 'cause I am very introverted personal person.

No, I don't argue with friends. In fact I am a very calm and introvert person as well as my friends are very good in nature too. Our communication is always related and we don't have any kind of misunderstanding in communication so we don't argue in any similar topic.

× They are the ones who I talk to on a daily basis.
✓ They are the ones whom I talk to on a daily basis.
The relative pronoun refers to the object of the verb 'talk to'. Use 'whom' (objective case) instead of 'who' (subjective case). For natural spoken English, 'who' is often used informally, but formally 'whom' is correct. Alternatively, reorder: 'They are the ones I talk to on a daily basis.'
× I usually talk about my daily life and my future plans and the stress and and they are always here to support me.
✓ I usually talk about my daily life, my future plans, and my stresses, and they are always here to support me.
The original sentence has repeated 'and', missing commas, and unclear noun phrase 'the stress'. Use parallel structure for the list and pluralize 'stress' to match general reference. Remove duplicated 'and' and insert commas for clarity.
× I usually talk about my day-to-day life and the plans I'm making for the future as well as I also talk about the situation or any kind of stress I have faced while in the corporate and ask them for any kind of suggestion or advice.
✓ I usually talk about my day-to-day life and the plans I'm making for the future, and I also talk about situations or any stresses I have faced in the corporate world and ask them for suggestions or advice.
Problems: unnecessary article 'the' before 'plans' is acceptable but sentence is long and unbalanced. 'the situation' should be plural 'situations' to match general experiences; 'any kind of stress' -> 'any stresses' or 'any kind of stress' consistently; 'while in the corporate' is incomplete — use 'in the corporate world' or 'at work'. Use plural 'suggestions' after 'ask them for'. Break into clearer parallel parts.
× While talking with several group of people, I feel more awkward 'cause I am very introverted personal person.
✓ While talking with a group of people, I feel more awkward because I am a very introverted person.
Errors: 'several group of people' is incorrect quantifier and noun form — use 'a group of people' or 'several groups of people'. ' 'cause' is informal; use 'because'. 'personal person' is redundant and ungrammatical — 'introverted person' suffices. Include article 'a' before 'very introverted person'.
× I prefer to communicate face to face with only my very close group of people because I feel that is more meaningful and fun.
✓ I prefer to communicate face to face with only my very close group of friends because I feel that is more meaningful and fun.
'Group of people' is not wrong but 'group of friends' is more precise. Also 'face to face' can be hyphenated in writing as 'face-to-face' but here kept spaced. No major preposition error aside from clarity; adding 'friends' improves naturalness.
× But if I have to talk with the less close people then I would like to communicate via social media to get some kind of messages or important information.
✓ But if I have to talk with less-close people, then I would prefer to communicate via social media to get messages or important information.
'The less close people' is awkward; use 'less-close people' or 'people I'm less close to'. 'Would like to' can stay but 'would prefer to' better contrasts options. 'Some kind of messages' is vague — use 'messages'. Add comma before 'then' for clarity.
× No, I don't argue with friends.
✓ No, I don't argue with my friends.
Not strictly wrong, but adding 'my' clarifies reference. This is a possessive pronoun correction to make the sentence more natural.
× In fact I am a very calm and introvert person as well as my friends are very good in nature too.
✓ In fact, I am a very calm and introverted person, and my friends are also very good-natured.
Use 'introverted' (adjective) rather than 'introvert' (noun). Add comma after 'In fact'. 'Very good in nature' is awkward; use 'good-natured' or 'kind'. Use 'also' instead of 'too' for flow.
× Our communication is always related and we don't have any kind of misunderstanding in communication so we don't argue in any similar topic.
✓ Our communication is always harmonious, and we rarely have misunderstandings, so we don't argue about similar topics.
Original is vague and ungrammatical: 'always related' doesn't convey meaning. Replace with 'harmonious' or 'open'. 'Any kind of misunderstanding in communication' is wordy — use 'misunderstandings'. 'Argue in any similar topic' should be 'argue about similar topics'. Add commas for clarity.
