"In fact, Bilbo began to feel there really was something of a bold adventurer about himself after all, though he would have felt bolder still, if there had been anything to eat" - Page 155 This shows that Bilbo's ego relies a lot on his peers, and how he's feeling physically. Bilbo seems to rely a lot on his peers, and that can lead to easy demoralizing, as if the dwarfs don't feel strong mentally, neither will he.
"When he heard this, Bilbo was all in a flutter, for he saw that luck was with him and he had a chance at once to try his desperate plan" Contradictory to what has been said in the previous paragraph, even though the dwarfs are locked up, Bilbo feels ecstatic that he has a chance to prove himself once more. I also believe that Bilbo was not feeling disheartened because he was not around to witness his friends suffering and locked up, or maybe he thought the dwarfs were heavily reliant in Bilbo, and trusted him.
"Upon my word! said Thorin, when Bilbo whispered to him to come and join his friends, Gandalf spoke true, as usual! A pretty fine burglar you make, it seems," Thorin shows how much trust he puts in Gandalf, and is letting it affect his judgement of Bilbo. This amount of trust that Thorin has put onto Gandalf has transferred slightly to Bilbo.
"Ugh! Here they are! He said to the horses They don't look dangerous. You can be off! He laughed a great rolling laugh, put down his axe and come forward" This shows that Beorn is friendly towards the animals, and does not look at them as servants. Since Beorn is friends with the animals, it implies that he has trained the animals themselves and they understand him.
"Where is Gandalf? Asked Bilbo, moving off to find something to eat as quick as he could. Out and about somewhere. They told him." The dwarfs don't seem to worried about the whereabouts of Gandalf, despite the amount of help he has given them. This could also imply that the dwarfs are well rested in Beorn's house, and is leading to carelessness
