I hold a weekly project review/coordination meeting via Teams where we discuss all our project statuses, due dates, etc with the relevant team members, make new assignments, etc. And while our new offices are being built I'm exiled to the conference room instead of my desk so that my talking doesn't annoy people who aren't in the meeting.

Everything is being tracked on a spreadsheet, and I'm sharing my screen while updating everything and I'm having to live-type in front of 20 people and my shitty laptop keyboard.

It's the worst.

I would think it’s a combination of two things: stage fright / performance anxiety, and just the social load that another humans presence requires; your brain pends some of its processing power on reading their posture and emotions and social ques.

Oh, do I get autism superpowers regarding this? Doing work perfectly while being watched by not reading social cues

I can barely type when watched.

I hate it! Same thing with reading out loud in class growing up. I could read fine but wasn't into public speaking so the teachers always thought I wasn't a good reader lol

This goes for anything, pretty much. It's a wonder we don't see a lot more blood on competitive cooking shows.
