Is it permissible for someone who is married and lives with his family, works as an accountant, owns a car, provides for his family, and is indebted by about $3,000, to request zakat despite feeling shy, and is it permissible for him to hint at the existence of a person in need of zakat without explicitly stating that he is the intended recipient?

"Whoever dispenses with people's wealth, Allah makes him self-sufficient," meaning He makes his heart rich or gives him what suffices him from creation. If you are eligible for zakat and are too shy to ask for it, you may request it from an unspecified person and benefit from it.
