For example, when I walk barefoot om my room’s wooden floor, it feels colder than walking on the carpet in the same room. Or a glass feels cooler than say a piece of bread in the same environment. Why is this?

Temperature is a product of energy. For objects, different materials can hold different amounts of energy before radiating that energy outward as heat. It’s the same reason why you need to microwave some foods longer than others to warm them up. Even when they’re stored at the same temperatures (like next to each other in the fridge).
The same thing applies to things you don’t eat, and getting energy from other sources.
