How I act around people
When I’m around my friends, I usually listen to their stories, ask them questions about their lives.
I like catching up with them, even if it’s not been that long since I last met them.
I also like making them laugh by saying silly stuff or just joking. Sometimes my silly behavior totally gets into unexpected situations, and it feels a bit awkward, but that’s fine when at least they laugh and don’t blame me for it. Anyway, I’m very happy when people around me are laughing and smiling.
I also often ask my friends for advice about my life. I used to tend to avoid asking for advice before for some reason, but now I often tell my concerns or worries to my friends with honesty. I realized how awful it is keeping my concerns or anxiety hidden in my heart. After I realized that, it became easier for me to show my weakness and true feelings to my friends.
When I’m around my friends, I usually listen to their stories, and ask them questions about their lives too.
The sentence feels incomplete without a connector; “too” makes it flow naturally

“it’s not been” is awkward; “hasn’t been” is the correct contraction.

“leads to” fits better
"as long as” is the natural phrasing

Most of the sentences are clear and natural. The corrections are small and mainly about avoiding redundancy, choosing smoother phrasing, and fixing verb forms. You’re expressing feelings in a thoughtful way, which makes the text engaging. Keep it up!

"When I’m around my friends, I usually listen to their stories, ask them questions about their lives." <--- is actually okay, BUT grammatically incorrect. It gives the feeling of giving an unfinished list, and trailing off without finishing the sentence. Not uncommon in speech.
It's sort of like ending a sentence with the て form of a verb (～話を聞いて、人生について質問をして。)

It's not wrong, but since you already put "I used to," adding "before" sounds redundant
I realized how awful it is keeping my concerns or anxietyies hidden in my heart.
"my anxiety" = general feeling of anxiety, focusing on the feeling itself
"my anxieties" = specific instances of anxiety, focusing on the reason for the anxiety (ie. anxious because of school, anxious because of work, etc)
I think you meant the latter but maybe not...?

I've experienced the same thing in the past few years. Sometimes it's hard to not feel like you're burdening others. You sound like a good friend :)
How I act around people
When I’m around my friends, I usually listen to their stories, and ask them questions about their lives.
When you are listing two or more things in a sentence, the last entry must always start with "and" or "or" depending on the situation. For example:
When I'm with my friends, we usually play basketball, go to the movies, or walk around town.
When I go outside, I always take my wallet and keys.
I like catching up with them, even if it’s not been that long since I last met them.
I also like making them laugh by saying silly stuff or just joking.
Sometimes my silly behavior totally gets me into unexpected situations, and it feels a bit awkward, but that’s fine when at least they laugh and don’t blame me for it.
Unless you specify who or what the silly behavior is acting upon, it will act upon itself.

This is very impressive. I was particularly impressed by the sentence "I used to tend to avoid asking for advice." Many native English speakers would have to think for a moment to formulate that.
