Hello.

Is this sentence grammatically correct? ''You feel not comfortable.''
 
Yes, or "you feel uncomfortable".
 
I thought it is always ''You don't feel comfortable.'' :-?
 
These are correct and natural:

You don't feel comfortable.
You feel uncomfortable.
 
I hear that on English Club TV.
 
Do you have a link?
 
No, I don't. It was one of the Figures of Speech episodes.
 
I thought it is always ''You don't feel comfortable.'' :-?

Not always, but it is natural. You feel not comfortable is possible, but it would only really work in a context that explains why the unusual form is used.
 
I for one am not used to talking about other people's feelings. In any case, I wouldn't say "You are uncomfortable" (as already mentioned) but "You look uncomfortable".

I feel more comfortable talking about my feelings. I might say:

I don't feel comfortable.

Or:

I feel uncomfortable.

Or:

This is making me uncomfortable.
