...being in the physical presence of other human beings makes some of my orthogonal skills evaporate or sharply deteriorate.
I experience this, especially with parents. Their mere presence makes me less communicative and attentive as well. Might it be considered (or already exist as) a bias worth investigating and canonizing?
Sounds like a learned behavioral model—just about everyone acts differently around their parents than their peers. That’s only to be expected, since your peers will expect you to behave differently towards them than to your parents. So we learn to behave differently around them, which may also involve deeper effects like different ways of thinking around them.
Did your parents (implicitly or explicitly) discourage communicative and attentive behavior when you were growing up?

I don’t think it’s a bias. It’s not about reasoning. But it’s an interesting performance-inhibiting factor.
