Lulz ^_^
Yes, while standing up you will have less chance of seeing the fretboard.
And if your guitar is a fat one (like dreadnaught) then "fat chance" seeing the frets!
You should practice with your eyes closed, or possibly looking ahead at imaginary audience.Yes, and it's no use saying that you don't know nothing
Still gonna get you if don't do something
Sitting on the fence that's a dangerous course
You can even catch a bullet from the peace keeping force

yeah first relax.,
second make sure you and the guitar are comfortable with the strap., not too loose., not too tight., make the guitar to sit on you perfectly.,
third relax and play ;-)

Hi, I understand your problem completely. I would recommend you to start slowly when practicing while standing.
Start with chords and progress...
This video helped me a lot in learning guitar while standing

Man who run in front of car get tyred.
Man who run behind car get exhaust-ed.
Man with one chopstick go hungry.
Man who scratch ass should not bite fingernails.
Man who drive like hell, bound to get there.
Man who stand on toilet is high on pot.
Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement.

In addition to what everyone said, make sure the strap of the guitar is not too low...I know that is what "rockers" do but maybe that isn't the best way to start. Keeping the strap short makes the guitar be in a position which is familiar...slightly higher than the waist. That should make life easier...it is a disaster with the girls though.
