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?

Thermal conductivity, you don’t feel the temperature of material you are touching, you can’t because you don’t have any nerves in the flooring. You can only feel the temp of your own nerve endings in your feet. Standing on a cool material of poor thermal conductivity doesn’t chill down your feet as much as standing on same temperature but higher thermal conductivity material.
