Today has just been a lot for me to handle I guess. It’s the little things that causes me to stress. I get embarrassed easily as well.

This is a classic case of overthinking! Resist the temptation to go over every detail, as the more you do, the more you will doubt and obsess over your facial expression and the like.
Low self-esteem could well be part of it. Being so concerned about what other people think of you is only going to lower it further. Try not to worry about others' opinion of you. I'm sure it can't be bad!
It can be difficult to pull yourself out of the mire where little things get you down and sap your self confidence. Try to think positively. I know it's a cliche, but taking pleasure in little things can make a big difference to your mood.
