Holden's personality is innocent and childish Holden thinks to much into things. Holden wants to call somebody up because he is lonely but he doesn't want to. This shows his alienation to others. Holden is also procrastinating. It takes Holden twenty minutes in the phone booth just to figure out who he wants to call but calls no one. Holden even says he is so absent minded. Holden can't decide who to call. Holden always repeats "I am not in the mood." this is a statement that pulls Holden back from others. Holden thinks to deeply into what the reactions of the people he will call. Which is an example of Holden's alienation from others. Holden is trying to find connections with other people his personality is taking that away from him. Holden has no direction in life. Holden says that mrs. Hayes said Holden has no direction in life and that is true. Holden makes quick decisions without putting time and effort into them. When Holden says he is going to call someone he makes up what they are going to think. Holden says he wants to call Jane and tell the people that answer the phone that her aunt died in an accident. Holden doesn't even think once of what he is saying he just says it.
Holden is not considerate of others he is selfish.
