It was very obvious that Holden was feeling lonely throughout the book and even with all the people around him, he just felt like nothing was worth living because the one thing he loved was gone.

It's mine. I'm just so angry and sad, all these different emotions running through me all day long. I can't handle it no more. It's all my fault, I do admit it.

I can remember most of my early childhood being an infinite stretch of loneliness and a great sense of grief. That woman forced me through daily pains that no one should have to endure – I remember school being on par with hell, each day I was bullied and teased because I was forced to wear cheap, awkward clothes that didn’t fit.
