Ana ga Attara Hairitai
Today, I would like to introduce you to an idiom that expresses one's feeling, so please guess what it means.
The idiom is 'ana ga attara hairitai' (穴があったら入りたい).
Since 'ana' (穴) means "hole," 'attara' (あったら) means "if something is there," 'hairitai' (入りたい) means "I want to get into somewhere," the literal meaning of this idiom is "if there is a hole, I want to get in there."
The actual meaning is that you are so embarrassing that you want to hide yourself by getting into a hole.

"You are so embarrassing" means that you are embarrassing to others. Your presence embarasses them. They don't want to be near you.
"You are so embarrassed" describes the feelings of the person who is embarrassed. In this case, "you" feels embarrassed.
