is this sarcasm? I read it as "I'm not welcome to parties because I don't toe the line"

I don't understand how you can get any information from that line about the reasons why he wasn't close to them.

No, no sarcasm and that's how I read it too.

So how is it humble? He is just saying he didn't hobnob with known intellectuals - isn't that just a statement of fact?
