I'm not worried what the OP looks like, or generally what I look like for that matter, but they were worried what they look like. I just dispute the claim that standups are the root of their anxiety about that.

I think it is fair to think you will be measured with the same general yardsticks that your peers are measured by. So, if you are in a standup where others are giving daily task reports, it is natural to expect you should. And that if you are not, it is natural to feel something is amiss.
