2. 'embarrassed'
If you are embarrassed, you are worried that people will laugh at you or think you are foolish.
He looked a bit embarrassed when he noticed his mistake.
She had been too embarrassed to ask her friends.
You say that someone is embarrassed by something or embarrassed about it.
He seemed embarrassed by the question.
I felt really embarrassed about singing in public.
Be Careful!
Don't use 'of' in sentences like these. Don't say, for example, 'He seemed embarrassed of the question.'

neutral  Rachel Douglas: "How about..." usually comes as the second or third or later argument. "You're blocking traffic". "And how about the fact that you're stuck in a traffic jam on the sidewalk?" Without an argument coming before, it wouldn't be used.

Don't you mind being...


Explanation:
Seems to me this needs to be very conversational/colloquial.

Or, "Doesn't it feel a little weird to be..."
