Many "I"s

I think I often use "I". That is, when I want to write something, I often start off sentences by "I". As you are just now noticing, even in this entry, I can see many "I"s in my sentences. However, I don't feel like it's kind of natural and a good English expression because when translating the sentences that has many "I"s into my language, I would feel the sentences are kinda strange.
Umm... it's hard to write natural English sentences...

Nah, I think it's fine. As long as you don't start every sentence in a paragraph with an I and just mix up some sentence structures a little bit it should be fine.

I think that a lot of times in sentences and speech for Japanese and Korean, the word 'I' is just left out altogether and simply implied. Opposite to what you feel, not including the word I in most sentences felt strange, but I think I've gotten used to it now. I think you write quite naturally in English, so don't fret too much :)

I understand what you mean! Probably I shouldn't mind such things too much because I'm just an English learner and I would be show-off if I leave out "I" like native speakers do. haha
Thanks a lot. ;)
