If you look into the light bulb in your room, your eyes will get bothered, even with the globe diffusing it but if you look away onto a wall it doesn’t bother. I also have a photography lamp with a softbox and diffuser cloth attached and I feel the same when I compare the reflected portion to the transmitted, and it has a cloth in front of it so shouldnt that bounce the light around just like a reflection does? Is there any way to take a transmissive light source i.e. an LED and cover it in a way so that it feels like you’re looking at a well-lit book instead of a mini-sun?

Looking at a light source is usually giving you a lot more light than reflected light. Try looking at some snow on top of a mountain on a sunny day and your eyes will definitely be getting bothered by some reflected light then.
