backwards bragging

Complaining about yourself/your life or a complimenting someone else/theirs, as a thin veil for bragging.

X: I am totally jealous of ugly girls, it is really annoying having to decide which guy to let buy you a drink at the bar.

X: Your staycation must have been awesome! Going straight from the beach in south of France to skiing in the Swiss Alps took so much out of me.

You: X, stop backwards bragging!!!
