It doesn't sound like he's bragging about it, he's mentioning shitty things he's done and how it's common among people in SV. I had to look it up, but calling yourself a "wastrel" doesn't sound like bragging.

n.One who wastes, especially one who wastes money; a profligate

n.An idler or a loafer.

n.Anything cast away as spoiled in the making, or bad; waste; refuse.

Do you think calling yourself a bad boy is self criticism?

He wants people to see him as a scoundrel with a heart of gold. Nothing I've seen from him has been regretful or contrite.
