blacknomi is an unknown quantity at this point
Default at/in the moment

Hello,
I wrote a sentence as "I was embarrassed at the moment while her father kept calling me BIG hair." My English teacher corrected my sentence as "I was embarrassed in the moment while her father kept calling me BIG hair." I tried to compare this one to the other sentence as "My life is just too busy at the moment." I can't tell the exactly difference between the two examples.

Here is my comprehension:
"at the moment" refers to a period of time whereas "in the moment" refers to a point in a period of time. Am i correct?
