I guess I can see a lot of myself in the past in what you said. I am not very good at consoling people but I hope it could help.
Your friends probably doesn't care about that you are anxious, you are probably over thinking it, just relax and choose something to focus on instead of yourself in conversations, perhaps the things that they were laughing about? If you have an interest choose to focus on that. You said you are too deep sometimes. I wonder if you were like me when I was really engaged in abstract thinking. I finally found out that it is taking me away from my life. I tried to do things. Day to day things. Got a job and make myself focus on the work. Eventually it got better. The trick is to focus. When you are good at what you do, people respect you for that. That gave me my confidence. Don't think about yourself too much. It could really eat you up.
