I definitely recognize what you’re going through, and feel the same thing myself. I can’t pull off a trick like that if I know I’m deceiving/misleading someone against their interest. Heck, that explains a lot of my difficulties.
I feel much the same. When I was younger, I would routinely distract my parents with a discussion or claim or change of topic in order to not continue talking about something uncomfortable; and my siblings are equally good at doing the same (or turning the topic onto me!). But I’m not sure I could have pulled those tricks off if I were consciously thinking about how to deceive my parents.
