Same here. Daily stand ups (no matter if they last 5 min. or 20) have not being useful for me any single time. They are used by managers to force us to show what we have been doing the day before. No more, no less. If I ever get stuck with something, I go and ask for help to my colleagues; I update the corresponding Jira ticket status and whatever is needed to keep my work visible.

Same for retros or any other kind of ceremony. They are just for managers.
