Today I learned there are exhibitionist office workers as well as exhibitionist sex workers.

Lotta overlap in that Venn diagram.
You want me to collate these for you baby?
These must be the people pushing for a return to the office.
This sounds like body doubling to me. A nice little strategy to add a bit of (simulated) accountability to your workflow. Because of this I was able to finish my masters thesis (more or less) on time.
So, what exactly is body doubling? In essence, it involves working on a task while someone else is present, either in person or virtually. This person isn’t there to do the work for you; rather, their presence acts as a subtle motivator to keep you on track. Think of it as similar to having a workout buddy who encourages you simply by being there, even if they’re not engaging in the same exercise.
it's both accountability and that openly procrastinating in a coffee shop is weird
Plus, new environment where I do work. I was actually happiest when I went to my office where a few co workers and I shared a desk with a bit of privacy, with a filtered coffee machine and an adequate laptop to do all my working on
I had days where I only went to work and slept and was still happy, doing work makes me happy
When people watch me doing a task at work, I get incredibly nervous and flustered and probably do the task worse. At the same time, I like people to be around in case I have a quick opinion question on how to proceed. But I absolutely cannot deal with people watching me work lol.
why not livestream yourself working from home?
Comes with a few issues, one is that I may not have an audience, two is privacy being fully eliminated, three is having to also block out the sensitive information and four is that I would broadcast my awful skills to the internet
I feel every point you mention there :D
Yes, that would get you fired with alacrity.
