Holden's+Lonliness

 * Psychological problems reported included anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, withdrawal, regression, and hallucinations.
 * Loneliness is clinically proven to speed aging. This is significant to the novel because it happens to be Holdens' greatest fear. Like the color of his hair, Holden has many problems which involve his growth as an individual, but as an immature kid as well. In addition the elderly have a higher level of the stress hormone epinephrine, which triggers the "fight or flight" response. (www.webmd.com)
 * Holden starts to become depressed and he thinks about a lot of things. With too much thinking, he loses touch with reality. This is due to your body reacts by releasing endorphins/adrenaline.

 * A person can feel lonely because they have no one special in their life who loves them. Others can be lonely in a crowd of people who do love them. A lot of people don't try to be lonely, yet some do. But, loneliness goes out of its way to choose us.

 * I agree, if Holden is desperate enough to ask a random person to have a drink with him, then he has to be extreamly lonley-Erica Dias
