What kind of child were you?

I was very outdoorsy kid and frequently got injured like grazes or breaking bones. I made secret base on a tree and played card games with my friends there. However, I'm not outgoing people now. Painting alone quietly at home with espresso is my favorite weekend.

Thank you very much for your careful corrections.
You suggest corrections that are not just to my own writing, so it's very helpful in helping me understand.
I only post the works I write on social media and such.

However, I'm not an outgoing peoplerson now.

"people" refers to multiple and you are a singular person and therefore you also need the "an" to describe a singular noun ("an" and not "a" due to the vowel at the beginning of "outgoing")

Painting alone quietly at home alone with an espresso is my favourite weekend.

Just changed the word order to sound more natural although what you put also makes sense. I changed "favourite" but that's a preference on my part as "favorite" is American English and "favourite" is British English

Amazing job! Your English is really good and you should be proud of how few mistakes you made here. Well done :)

Thank you so much for your careful corrections. Your explanations of each step are very helpful.

What kind of child were you?

I was a very outdoorsy kid, and I frequently got experienced injuredies like grazes or breaking bonbroken bones and scratches.

I understood the meaning from your original sentence, but I corrected it to sound more natural. "Grazes" is okay, but it's more commonly used only as a verb. For example: "The thorny plant grazed my ankle." When you experience grazing yourself on something, you can say you got a "scratch" or a "wound".

I made secret base on a treehouse and played card games with my friends there.

秘密基地というものですね!In English, "secret base" might be misunderstood, so I corrected it to "treehouse".

However, I'm not an outgoing people nowrson anymore.

Painting alone quietly at home with espresso is my favorite way to spend the weekend.

"Scratches" sounds more natural than "grazes" to me, but maybe it's different in certain regions?
