Eli5 Why does bad posture feel so…. good.

You can probably see the answer here, but I want to tell you not to slouch on purpose. It is better to make a habit of standing/sitting up straight. Ill offer my personal experience as a reason why.
I never stood up straight as a kid. Eventually, I developed this massive hunch. Besides bullying, there was an unimaginable physical pain to deal with when I got home. It hurt like hell and when I went to a doctor for it, I was recommended a physical therapy that would make the pain go away or a surgery, that would run titanium rods down the length of my spine. I could barely move for months. Worst pain Ive ever felt in my life, even to now. Its now a few years later and the pain subsided(mostly, its a shell of the pain I felt then. In fact its mostly discomfort) but I cant bend my back and the rods will be in there for the rest of my life.
TL; DR Dont slouch please. It hurts like hell.
