To clarify: You literally asked why it is unpleasant. Are you also implying that you don't understand why it is unpleasant? That's the default assumption when someone asks "Why X?" Because that is literally in-credible, I do not believe you don't understand why it's unpleasant.
I have my own beliefs on why it might be perceived as 'unpleasant'; the question was Socratic.
Why don't you just say what it is you're trying to say?
