Tuning: is it all in my head?

When I tune by myself, I notice that I am always about 10 cents sharp on middle C. I pull out from various places depending on the note, but the pitch doesn't change. I even have a slightly longer barrel, but I tune about the same on middle C with a shorter barrel. I've had the same experience with other notes. On the other hand, when I have to tune with others, I am able to bring the pitch down and play in tune. It's almost like, if I can hear the pitch, I can play it. Otherwise, I have a pitch in my head and I can't fix it by pulling out or even with my embouchure. It seems to be all in my head. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
