The question is framed in imperfect syntax, but if the boyfriend or girlfriend is really a friend, this should not be too much of a problem. Certainly, we should present a friendly face to the world and should act in a rational manner. In addition, we should be caring when appropriate. It is not our mission however, to please others but rather to live our own live on our own terms. If society is going to force you to live according to their standards, then modifications will have to be made. The world is not an easy place.

Embarrassment in relationship are common when the opposite gender is not able to understand you it is likely to happen. But it's okay , just talk it out face to face and as what your partner wants from you and how you should behave when in public places ... Talking will itself solve most of your problems. Understanding and trust is what makes a relationship work ... Feeling embarassed about your partner isn't a bad thing it's okay , you just need to be clear and supportive towards your partner and all the problems will be gone ..

It is always good to understand why she/ he is embarrassed of you. And also to understand whether this is something that came up recently. Its always good to understand what made things this way. Then you know the reasons and you can decide what needs to be done based on that. Simultaneously you also must evaluate what made you think that she/he is embarrassed of you. Sometimes we imagine things and reality may be far from that. Always communication helps to clarify the doubts. That gives you a very clear picture of things and clear many misunderstandings.

Try to figure out the reason as to why they are embarrassed of you and if they let you know a valid reason and if it sounds reasonable to you as well, try working on that issue so they get to know that you care and are trying to make this relationship work. If their reason is not strong enough and belittles you then you should maybe think of reconsidering your value in that relationship and work on making yourself a better person rather than worrying about what your partner thinks about you. Losing your mental peace and integrity is not a good idea to be going through in a relationship.

Without any additional context, i think first you should talk to them to find out what the issue is. Once you understand exactly what theres a problem with, you will have two options:
1. see if improving yourself is in order.
2. it is just petty of them and you should move on and break up the relationship.
Someone being embarrassed of you is NEVER acceptable, especially if its your significant other. Improving yourself is always an option, but dont change just for the sake of meeting other peoples standards. Be yourself and love yourself, and find someone who does the same :)

Communication is key in all interpersonal relationships. In order to maintain a healthy connection with your significant other, you both should be able to talk freely to each other. Ask them what they are embarrassed of and why, and demand honest answers. If the matter is trivial and the thought of changing something about yourself is fine for you, try to fix whatever it is that bothers them. However, if what they are asking of you is something you do not want to change, tell them. Be genuine. You should not change any aspect of your life for someone else: personality, quirks, appearance and habits - these are all yours to keep, as long as you do not hurt someone else. Anyone's attempts at changing your person for their sake should be unacceptable. I can understand being persuaded to change a negative part of yourself in order to better yourself, but ''being embarrassed of'' is emotional and psychological manipulation and should not be tolerated.

Try to talk to them about why they are embarrassed in a safe environment for both of you and try to remain calm and unangered. Tell them how their behavior has made you feel and what you need to happen in the future. Let them tell their side of the story and get all aspects of what they are feeling and what made them feel this way about you. After you both hear both side, decide what best to do to make your feelings and their feelings better. It is important to have this conversation to get to the bottom of why you feel they are embarrassing you and this can help resolve the problem.

Ask them what exactly makes them feel that way. If it's something you can or want to change and something you don't feel too strongly about, try to change it. If it's something you just can't change or something that's an essential part of your personality: Find someone who appreciates you for who you are. Love needs to be mutual. If your boyfriend/girlfriend is embarrassed of you, they might just not be the right partner for you. There's someone waiting for you out there, who will love you for who you are. Don't settle for anything less! You're worthy of love.

If you feel your partner is embarrassed of you then you can try to talk to them about it . Make sure not to feel insecure about yourself and even if you do feel insecure you can definitely try to talk it out with someone or 7 cups since I would be more than happy to talk to you. You must be feeling disappointed and I totally understand that since I myself would’ve felt the same if I was in your position . I hope you’ll get through this.Try reconnecting with me whenever you feel like I would love to have a nice talk with you.

If your boyfriend or girlfriend is embarrassed of you ask them why , and let them know how you feel about it. sometimes people need to be told about how their actions affect others just having a simple discussion can feel like its lifted a weight off of your chest. failing that suggest a break so you and them can think about how best to tackle this situation and what best way on how to move forward with your relationship then hopefully they will begin to realize what they are doing and will start treating you with the respect you deserve .
