Crossword Genius

embarrassed, being a bit tight perhaps (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uncomfortable

I believe this is a double definition.

'embarrassed' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a bit tight perhaps' is the second definition.
(as in uncomfortable clothing)

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for uncomfortable that I've seen before include "Ill-fitting" , "Awkward - embarrassed" , "Disquieted" , "being out of place" , "Uneasy, awkward" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
