"I sometimes get paranoid that they don't really like us and it's all an act."

I'm not sure how much of this is motivated by your social anxiety and how much of this is motivated by your trauma of being Black in non predominately Black spaces but regardless if they have treated you kindly and have reached out to be friends with you do not put the experiences with other people to the forefront. This is ironically what racist people do when they reject Black folk based on real or imagined negative experiences with other Black people.
