I am the only person with a standing desk in an open style office layout of a few dozen people, and i can tell you that this anxiety is increased by several orders of magnitude when everyone else in the room sitting down can see what you are working on at a glance.

Its actually the other way around.

Since you are standing, its easier for you to look at them. Its very likely most of your colleagues find that creepy.
