The phrase 'ever since' indicates an action that began in the past and continues to the present, so the present perfect tense 'have started' is appropriate instead of the simple past 'started'. This ensures correct tense usage to express ongoing effects.
× I don't feel com comfortable sharing those sort of things with others and nor am I interested in learning other people's dreams as well.
✓ I don't feel comfortable sharing those sorts of things with others, nor am I interested in learning other people's dreams as well.
The word 'com' is a typographical error and should be removed. Also, 'those sort of things' should be 'those sorts of things' to agree in number. The conjunction 'and nor' is incorrect; 'nor' alone is sufficient to connect the negative clauses.
× If I I am someone who really wants to achieve something in life, I'm more likely to see dreams related to that.
✓ If I am someone who really wants to achieve something in life, I'm more likely to see dreams related to that.
The repetition of 'I' is a typographical error and disrupts sentence structure. Removing the extra 'I' corrects the sentence and improves clarity.
× So if dreams are related to my success and happiness, I'll I'll more than likely want them to be real.
✓ So if dreams are related to my success and happiness, I'll more than likely want them to be real.
The repetition of 'I'll' is a typographical error. Removing the duplicate corrects the sentence and maintains proper pronoun usage.
