How to say?

Hello.

I need to say that I'm not in mood to talk about something but I want to say it differently.

Can I say: I'm not comfortable to talk about that" or "I'm not pleased to talk about that"?

Thanks!

I`m not comfortable to talk about that- ok. It makes me no pleasure talking about that. I dislike talking about that.

As I said, it's not idiomatic. Basically, that means we don't say that because we don't like to say that.

Sorry, I don't mean to stir the pot. May be this usage is regional but they sound odd to my ears.
