Hi, 'embarrassed'. The basic idea is that, in such a situation, feeling embarrassment is not a natural thing to do. This is a common way of thinking.

I found this out of a Google search:
"Why do I feel emotional
Answer:
People feel emotional due to chemical reactions triggered by emotions and thought. Relax and take you mind off of everything!"(That's what I think is acting naturally.)
I think embarrassment is an emotion and if "naturally" doesn't go with emotional it doesn't with embarrassed either.

Hi,
In such a situation you shouldn't feel embarrassed; you'd better act naturally.
In my opinion, native speakers would have no trouble understanding this statement. The underlying idea is that embarrassment can cause someone to stop doing something, or conceal the fact they are doig something. The speaker is saying that's a bad approach.

Greetings, Coloraday,
an interesting observation you have made on the usage of these adjectives, and thank you for sharing it. However, there are strong reasons to prefer only one of the options suggested in the multiple-choice cloze, viz. embarrassed.
1. In a strictly psychological sense, emotion is defined as a natural instinctive state of mind deriving f

Thanks a lot for your complete answer.
But in your argument you have not attended the difference between embarrassed with the meaning of constrained and the one with the meaning of ashamed(which ,I think, is the suitable meaning if the answer is it).And I think emotional should not be treated as a word with that meaning in psychology just as a common word in everyday speech

Coloraday,
One is ashamed whose embarrassment and humiliation are mixed sometimes with a sense of guilt and always with the awareness of being discredited or disgraced by one's own or vicariously another's shameful or indecorous act, behavior, or situation. Although, in a limited number of cases, ashamed is synonymous with embarrassed, there is no explicit signal for
