“Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty uses an example of feeling lonely and isolating. Holden's reaction to feeling surrounded by phonies is to isolate himself from others. In the book he says “One of the biggest reasons I left Elkton Hills was because I was surrounded by phonies. That's all. They were coming in the goddam window.” (Salinger 13) Holden does not like people who are concerned with the way they are to other people and feels these people are phonies and that he can not surround himself with these type of people More and more as he breaks down though the book he loses touch with his emotions and becomes more and more lonely.. In the song “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty says “All Day staring at the ceiling/ Making friends with The Furher.”
