Are you handy? or do you have to get someone to fix things?

I’ve assembled the most of my furniture in my room, and I hooked up my computer, but I’m not good at sewing. I can concentrate on something which is in my interest like oil painting, but I would be lazy in areas where I’m not interested in.

I can concentrate on something which is in mythat interests me like oil painting, but I would be lazy in areas whereat things that I’m not interested in.

I think this a more natural way to express this.

I'd say I'm fairly handy when it comes to my own personal things. I've assembled the desk I use for my PC as well as the bookshelf in my room. I also took the time to stain the bookshelf. If I feel that the task is interesting and motivating, I'm willing to do it. For instance, when my family needed to stain our deck, I took the time to consult my friend, watch videos, do research, and explained things to my family throughout the entire project. It was time-consuming and laborious, but the endeavor taught me a lot. However, things that I see as "uninteresting" and "demotivating" I pretty much avoid and would rather have someone else (ie an expert) do. Things that involve electrical work, HVAC, etc are all things that I'd rather let someone else handle.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
I felt that the last part of the sentence was quite awkward, but it ended up sounding unnatural.
It might be a good idea to take my time and try writing longer sentences.

"would be" / "can be" - would be is for if you're posing a hypothetical, but you're talking about a regular trend or personality trait, so it's better to use the present tense of "can be"

Personally there's some things I can do (like setting up a computer or assembling flat pack furniture), but there's a lot of house or car related stuff I've often gotten my father's help with. He's getting older these days, so I've been trying to learn more of that myself though. Unfortunately, as good as he is at doing that stuff, he's never been the most skilled at explaining things, so I need to find other people to learn from.

Are you handy? oOr do you have to get someone to fix things?

most = talking about quantity, amounts
the most = superlative comparison (the most funny -> the funniest, the most pretty -> the prettiest, etc.)

I can concentrate on something which is in mys I'm interested in, like oil painting, but I wouldtend to be lazy in areas where I’m not interested inother areas.

You can use "things I'm interested in" to explain it more concisely. Similar examples: things I like, things I usually eat, things I think about, things I'm not good at, etc.
And "other areas" is neater to use here because you already introduced the topic (things you're interested in) earlier in the same sentence.

I'm pretty handy! But I'm short. So sometimes, I still need to get other people to help me.

You dont need the because it is not one specific furniture since you say most. Hook up does mean to provide electricity to equipment but I dont think it is the best word choice here.

I can concentrate on something which is in mythat I am interested in like oil painting, but I would be lazy inam lazy when it comes to areas wherethat I’m not interested in.

I understand what you want to say but it is more clear this way and with correct grammar. To be interested in something is a very useful phrase.

Overall very great. The meaning of the sentences come through, like I understand what you are trying to say. Good job! Keep writing.
