I think the latter section was meant as a bit of self-deprecation on Bilbo's part - a kind of chastisement, scolding himself for not having been as friendly as he might have. Regardless, those who fell into the that category were quick to take it as an insult, so Bilbo was probably right all along in not liking them.
