Instead I just brag about it then feel guilty later in a moment of clarity when I realize they usually didn’t have the same luck and opportunities I did

"and this is where we do our blood boy transfusions. Pardon the ivory floors, I know those are faux pas these days."

I just grow ‘em suspended in goo-filled chambers these days, we just transfuse wherever

This is the worst, I feel so uncomfortable. How am I supposed to react to somebody shit-talking their own place? Especially if it’s nicer than my living arrangement.

It's just anxiety, throw them a quick compliment about something and unless they really have a complex, that usually closes the loop and you can move on.

You could say, "Hey! Quit shit talking my friends place. I think it's nice."

It's really anxiety, nerves, awkwardness, etc. They just might need a jolt to get out of their head for a moment. I have had friends that talk shit about themselves and I had to use the 'stop trashing my friend line.'
