That's not the case for me, I can start doing stuff while talking with someone that is sitting, watching TV, or whatever.
I think having someone near your serves two purposes:
If other people negatively impact your ability to get things done, I would suggest looking into it. Maybe you are subconsciously copying them, or you feel same shame doing stuff while others are not. I am not trying to invalidate your experience, just suggesting that it's possible you can gain a better understanding of it if you dive deeper.
I'm in middle management so I get my own office. I never use it because being alone in a quiet office makes me lose track of time. I perform better on the noisy platform with all the other colleagues and it doesn't matter whether they are working or just chatting or taking a break. It's just the presence of other people that keeps me picking myself up.
