Commas should not be used to split independent clauses that aren't connected by conjunctions, not unless there is a strong stylistic connection (in which case it might be stylistically justified).
2, I was hoping to join the party, but I'm not sure if they will accept me or not.
3, By the end of the summer, Robert seemed as placid and determined as ever.
But below the surface, the foundations were cracking, and through the fissures, new problems wasere thrusting upon him.
"Thrusting" implies that "him" is the object (i.e. what is being thrust).
4, After hearing of Jenny's failure, he gave a (sound of) savage glee at her.
"Glee" is an emotion, so it can't be "given" in the original sense.

1, I have a soft spot for Jenny,; she really is a girl after my heart.
I'm not sure if it's what the OP intended, but "after my (own) heart" and "close to my heart" don't mean the same thing. The latter simply implies that the narrator cares about whoever it is, while the former implies that the people in question have shared values or goals.
1, I have a soft spot for Jenny, she really is a girl afterclose to my heart.
I believe this is what you intended to write.
2, I was hoping to join the party, but I'm not sure if they will accept me or not.
3, By the end of the summer Robert seemed placid and as determined as ever.
But below the surface the foundations were cracking, and through the fissures new problems wasere thrusting him.
4, After hearing of Jenny's failure, he gave alared savage gleely at her.
Not sure what you meant with the original sentence, but I believe it was something similar to my correction. Consider changing "savagely" to "angrily" for a less intense feeling.
5, Don't shed crocodile's tears, I'm fed up with your hypocrisy.
Please beget to the point.
Or "stick to the point", both work.
