How to use "Tight" in context?
There is no one answer to what makes a person "tight." Different people have different preferences and levels of comfort, so it's impossible to neatly categorize people into tight or not-tight types. But one key thing that often contributes to someone feeling tight is if they're always focused on their body and self-conscious about their appearance.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be in good physical shape, or feeling self-conscious about your appearance, but if you're always focusing on being "tight" or feeling self-conscious about your body, it can lead to feelings of constriction and tension.
