These 10 sentences are hard sentences grammatically?

Could you please help me fix these sentences and tell me if the brackets are optional and which words to use?

1 That shows you what bad of a judge I am.
2 (In order) for them to jump out of a 10 story building, they must have seen something they were scared of.
3 Is there one person that if they said that, it would sound weird to your ears?
4 What do you see yourself as in 10 years?
5 I can't (afford to) forget his birthday./You can't (afford to) be scared of dying if you want to drive around in the same car with him.
6 Were you different with him at your workplace when you were friends than/from when you were dating.
7 It would have been nice to have won it./to win it.
8 He will be able to beat me up when he gets older/bigger (than I.)
9 Even with that message, no one has called me back. I don't know what I need to do to get a call back.

Thank you
