To sign "embarrassed," bring both hands up near your cheeks with flat, open handshapes and your palms facing your face. Move your hands in alternating, upward circular motions, as if brushing the air just outside your cheeks. Make sure to include a facial expression that shows you feel awkward, shy, or flushed!
Sign "I," then use the alternating upward circular motions near your cheeks for "embarrassed," followed by the sign for "trip." Emphasize your facial expression to show exactly how awkward you felt in that moment.
Point to the person for "you," sign "embarrassed," and raise your eyebrows while leaning slightly forward. Raising your eyebrows is the ASL grammar marker for asking a yes/no question.
Sign "please," then "don't," and finally "embarrass" while pointing back to yourself. Keep your facial expression pleading or serious to match the intent of the request.

No, your hands should not rest on or rub your cheeks. They should hover just slightly in front of your face as you make the alternating upward circular motions.
No, they are different signs. "Shy" uses a single bent hand that twists against the cheek, while "embarrassed" uses both open hands moving in alternating upward circles near the face to show blushing.
It is best to move them in an alternating pattern, where one hand moves up while the other starts its circle. Moving them in perfect unison can look a bit stiff and unnatural.
