Notes and friendly suggestions~

To answer your question, you should stick in transitional words to lessen your use of 'I'. I think it's hard to refrain from using 'I' in a self-introduction because you're talking about yourself. When I introduce myself, I try to use transitional words and explain in detail about the subject to support what I said.

The reason I crossed out "I can type without watching keyboard ." is because you didn't have a supporting detail for speaking. I recommend you say instead of "I can type without watching keyboard," "I can type on the keyboard in English as if it's second nature to me." <- I'd only say this if you're really fast and naturally when typing on the keyboard. Beginners in typing tend to type slow and look at the keyboard, so it's pretty impressive to say that typing is like breathing for you. 


I don't think you're a lazy person. It's quite admirable that you're trying to learn English! English isn't the easiest language to learn, and even native people have a hard time with it. Your struggle is probably with grammar and not knowing enough vocabulary. I recommend you go through dictionaries to strengthen your vocabulary.
