It's not what we do when we're uncomfortable that's scary, but rather the direct opposite.

In uncomfortable situations, we are often forced, or encouraged to change the situation, be in through unusual behavior, or creative problem solving skills. In short, we are not being ourselves when we stuck in uncomfortable situations. Contrary to belief where the unpredictability associated with discomfort is often what causes many seemingly illogical actions to be questioned and feared, I feel that being overly comfy is what really scares me.

When one is overly comfy, we tend to take liberties that we otherwise would not have, and the worse part is, it is more often than not subconscious decisions rather than active decision making. In other words, when we lack the stress factor, we begin to reveal more and more of our true natural that we probably wanted to, and has been hiding for the most part of our lifes.

At the same time, we might not even be aware of how ridiculous we can get when we get too comfy. To me, this is far more dangerous than the seemingly illogical decisions that one takes in uncomfortable situations. First of all, most people(I think) are able to sense the discomfort of others and hence learn to approach or handle with caution, making disastrous actions or decisions less disastrous. On the other hand, people who get too comfy don't realise it is happening, and similarly, so don't the people around them.

How do we stop ourselves from going too far, if neither us, nor the people around us can sense it?
