I think there were other reasons also, but the story points to this one in many places. First of all, Connie was not happy at home. To me Connie felt ignored by her dad and the other family members because they could give her the attention she wanted. This sort of relates to John Hughes movie "Sixteen Candles" Sam Baker struggles to get through the day on her 16th birthday because her entire family has forgotten about it and gave there attention elsewhere, to her sister wedding. Her father was most of the time at work and when he was home he didn't bother talking much to Connie.
She never asked her what was wrong. Joe thought he knew all about Amanda seeing that they grew up together, but he didn’t feel that way anymore. Amanda often went to Joe when she was upset, had a problem or just needed someone to talk to. One night she admitted to Joe that her life was a mess. She said school is shit and home is shit but she didn’t explain why and Joe never asked.
I felt like giving somebody a buzz. I left my bags right outside the booth so that I could watch them, but as soon as I was inside, I couldn’t think of anybody to call up... Then I thought of giving Jane Gallagher’s mother a buzz and find out when Jane’s vacation started, but I didn’t feel like it. Besides, it was pretty late to call up. Then I thought of calling this girl I used to go around with quite frequently, Sally Hayes... but I was afraid her mother’d answer the phone” (59) Holden knows he wants to call someone, but ends up interdicting all his options.

Adler and Proctor II imply that individuals cling to first impressions. I do not know why I sat down and started talking to her. I just could not stand to see her cry, so I sat down and asked what was wrong and if I could do anything to help. She began explaining that she had been on vacation for a week and now the paperwork was a mess, and money was missing from the store. Although she was not yelling, her voice was above the normal for my comfort and her hands were constantly
Hale points out that the messy sewing is a sign of nervousness. Mrs. Peters disagrees and tries to defend Mrs. Wright by saying that when she gets tired her sewing becomes a messy. The quilt showed a disturbance in Mrs. Wright's life. The knotting of the quilt seemed to be the same type of knot used to strangle Mr. Wright.

Where are the papers at that I told you to do about our financial issues? You looking dumb saying to yourself, I should have paid attention at the meeting yesterday. Now I am at risk of losing my job all because I did not pay attention in the meeting. The funny part is your boss fires you because you did not pay attention in the meeting. That day when the women came to speak, and class was over, I put myself in her shoes see what she went thru; it is hard to try to talk over like 30 kids in one room.
The conversation between them went on and on but I didn’t hear anything important so I stopped listening and concentrated on Caroline. Caroline must have seen that I was concentrating on something, she said,” What are you concentrating so hard on?” I said,” Nothing just thinking about history.” She said,” always concentrating on something huh? Well what do you think Kevin was trying to tell us?” I said,” I bet its nothing much, hurry we are going to be late for class.” We made it to class before the bell rang, but we had to sit on the last two seats. At the cafeteria I noticed Austin staring at Amanda as usual. But she hadn’t noticed yet.
If she found out that any of the patients like something she would make sure it was removed, and if they hate it, she would have more of it. An example would be when she leaves the music on and they want it to be off. When the doctor helps McMurphy by letting him, and the younger patients have the tub room, Nurse Ratched is extremely furious because she tries to stop it from happening.
