Sit down and talk to them about this feeling as clearly it needs discussing as you shouldn't be feeling inadequate or anxious of who you are. Maybe there is another reason or problem that will help if you discuss your feelings

If they were your real partner I believe they wouldn't be embarrassed of you. But be proud of you and show you off.

The first thing is to realize that you have done something and embarrassed your partner amd accept it and sincerely ask for apology with an understandable statement about what went wrong or right.

Ultimately, are you embarrassed of you? That's the real question! We can never be truly happy living under the judgment or comparison of others. If you're not embarrassed by you, then either you're misreading your partner or they may not be the right one for you: we should date people we are comfortable with. It's not meant to be if either party is consistently uncomfortable! Either way, have an open-minded, honest conversation with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Start the conversation when you both have free time and are in private. Say something like, "Hey, can I talk to you? I want to be a good girlfriend/boyfriend, but I feel you're embrassed of me when you [act embarrassed]." Let them know how they act that makes you feel this way and be open-minded to their response. It's okay for you to feel the way you do, but it's okay for other people to have feelings too, and it's okay if those feelings don't always align together.

A healthy relationship should leave you feeling proud and loved, safe, accepted, and worthy. If this is not how you are feeling, try talking to your partner about why he or she feels this way about you. If they truly do not value you, it is important to do what is best for you in this situation

Leave them. You do not deserve to be with someone who is embarrassed of you. You are an amazing beautiful human and you should have someone who respects you. If they do not have the respect to be seen with you in public, there is something very wrong with them.

If they are embarrassed of you , you may need to take that into consideration that maybe they aren't ready for commitment and if they really do love you they would show you off. You could try talking to them about it but if they continue you there ways I feel that it would be best to end it and get with someone that will show you off and loves you for who you are and not anyone else's views.

Tell him or her to stop. If they do not stop then you should possibly stop that relationships. If it making you not uneasy then that is not the place for you.

You should confront them about the problem. Ask them why they feel this way. Unless they have a good reason, break up with them. You deserve to be with someone who is proud to have you.
