× Yes, I have a friend with my cousin, his name is Himal Gautam.
✓ Yes, I have a friend who is my cousin, his name is Himal Gautam.
The phrase 'a friend with my cousin' is incorrect because 'with' is not the right preposition to describe the relationship. It should be 'a friend who is my cousin' to correctly express the relationship between the speaker and Himal Gautam.

✓ We have been friends since our birth as we lived in the same house while we were young until the age of 18.

× We used to talk telly we to share every details of our daily life.
✓ We used to talk daily to share every detail of our daily life.
The phrase 'talk telly we' is incorrect and unclear. It should be 'talk daily'. Also, 'every details' is incorrect; 'every' should be followed by a singular noun 'detail'.

✓ But whenever there is a chance, like on the weekend, we'd like to meet up, watch some movies, and talk about our life plans.

× So I always admire them, they always supports me and I like to talk to.
✓ So I always admire them, they always support me and I like to talk to them.
