I keep going back to my original premise - based on the comments you make, it really seems that you are trying to punish yourself for something. You seem bent on self-flagellation, making yourself uncomfortable intentionally, I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

Nope, not punishment, just a totally different viewpoint than you. And that's okay. I don't believe we are put here to enjoy ourselves, be comfortable, have fun, etc. If those things get to be added on here and there, all well and good, but never, ever a high priority at all for me.
And it could be in how we define the word "comfortable". To me that means... feels good... and I suit and tie doesn't feel good to me... slacks and dress shoes do not feel good to me, but i understand that there are times that doing what is appropriate is much more important than comfort or feeling good.
The inference for me when I hear "comfortable" is no self control, whatever feels good, lack of professionalism, doing whatever I want, making my flesh feel good....etc. Giving control over to our senses and them making final decision.
This may not be what you mean when you say comfortable, so this could be a matter of not being on the same page.
