actually Kaneki's habit of touching his chin isn't just a hint towards the fact that he's lying or uncomfortable. i don't now about sparing someone else's feelings, but he continues openly being a burden to those around him both past and present when he can't choose what to do. his habit of touching his chin is, i think, more correctly used to express when he isn't being honest with himself. that backfires and he finds himself in doubt, and all his insecurity issues come rolling back in. remember his talk with Rize? he wants to protect people, blah, blah, blah... basically, it's a problem he partially solved in the past, but without his memories in the present, he has little to go on so he's stumbling on the same problem again. this issue keeps hitting him until he fully resolves it- which i think is what's so beautiful about how well Ishida portrays Kaneki's life!
