the more people watching the fancier the code gets

More like
"Uhhhhh, c = int a + b??? No, wait...
int c = return for(int i = a; i != 0; i--) { b++ };
No, that's not it either, oh god
Do I need to import math or is 'using'?"

(The take away is I get very anxious and forget everything)

It's actually the opposite for me. When others are next to me, we usually solve a certain problem together, which results in debug variables and ugly structure. When it works, they go back to their place and i take the time to make it maintainable.
