What is a metaphor of embarrassment?

Answer 1

Embarrassment could be very easily put into a metaphor, and the greatest part is that there is so many you could come up with. One of them for example could be, "Embarrassment is like standing unprepared in the face a hurricane."

Answer 2

Oh, dude, a metaphor for embarrassment is like when you accidentally wave back at someone who was actually waving at the person behind you. It's like trying to play it cool after tripping in public but knowing everyone saw. It's basically that feeling of wanting to disappear into thin air when you do something cringeworthy.
