what is the right term for this?

When I have a social interaction, sometimes, the anxiety/nervous energy seems to rise up to my face and the other person can see/feel, that I am nervous. I am not sure if I have very light Twitching.

I am wondering, for the sake of listing my symptoms & searching for the cure.. if this blushing, flushing or something else?

Yeah it could be blushing if you feel your face getting hot. If you are twitching you will probably feel that too. It hard to tell with what you have said.

It may stem from general anxiety about situations and low self esteem.

I have to realize that low self esteem thing is BS, with respect to anxiety.
Its such a vague thing to quantify.I found in my experience people who appear outgoing and confident & if you dig a little deeper you find that they have low esteem. Also they dont suffer from any anxiety

In Ayurveda, anxiety stems from too much Wind element in the ground. The Wind element controls the
nervous system. So if you have too much of it in your body, your nervous system gets imbalanced.
