Talk to them about the problem, ask them why are they embarrased and try to fix it. Conversations usually could solve many problems.

Speak the them about why they are feeling that way and where the misunderstanding may be. Don't be afraid to express to them how that makes you feel and how their view is upsetting to you.

If your boyfriend or girlfriend is embarrassed of you then you need to question yourself whether they should really worth to be your girlfriend or boyfriend. Instead of being embarrassed they can let you know if you do anything wrong and can guide you take good decisions but being embarrassed from someone you love isn't something i believe happens in true love. If you are confident on yourself, ignore the people who are embarrassed; life is too short to waste for such people. Enjoy and live life to the fullest.

If someone I was in a relationship with was embarrassed of me, that's an instant turn-off. Whoever you're with should be willing to show you off and be proud of you. I genuinely do not think this is a fault for you, rather for your partner.

Sit them down and ask them why they're embarrassed of you. As a boyfriend or girlfriend should love their partner for their perfections and imperfections. Being with someone who views you as a embarrassment is not worth staying with. As there's someone out there that will love you for who you are and would never consider you a embarrassment.

Ask them what exactly makes them embarassed of you. If its something you can't change, make them understand or leave.

I believe the best way is to talk with him/her about it, it is the only you can learn why and make sure she/he understands you don't like that!

From a personal experience try to be upfront with them and ask to talk about it with them to resolve the problem so that you're both happy in your relationship and you're not bottling up your feelings and becoming angry with them, confusing them because they don't know what you're thinking and how much it upsets and frustrates you.

I would figure out why they are embarrassed of you. If it's something that can be fixed you both can work on it. But honestly why would you want to stay with someone who is embarrassed of you? Whoever you are with should be proud to be with you, should be loving, give you respect and make your life easier. If you can't work it out dump them because they probably don't deserve you anyway.

I am so sorry that they said this. You deserve to be with someone who respects you and is proud of you - and trust me, even though you may be heartbroken right now, there ARE people out there who will respect you and are proud of you. I would personally talk to them about how it made you feel, and ask them how they feel as well. Perhaps this can be talked out, but always remember that you deserve respect.
