Holden can be a jerk

Holden is really an interesting character. He is really good at seeing through people. Not that he has x-ray vision or anything crazy like that, its just that he sees how fake people are. I think that most everyone does this but the difference is that most people hold these things back and don’t say those kind of things to people’s faces. Obviously there are people that you wont like in life, but you have to have tolerance. This is a trait that Holden has not quite master. Maybe he never will but at this point in his life he can be a jerk to a lot of people and that is not good. In life you don’t really have to be the smartest person or the best person at something to be successful if you have people skills. When people like you it is easy to call for favors and ask for help on different things, which is really helpful a lot of time. For Holden it is hard to do this though because he doesn’t like anyone really. If you can’t like someone or simply tolerate them there is no way that they will ever be able to like or tolerate you. The fact of the matter is that Holden can not deal with people so his life will be very hard unless he can learn to tolerate people. Though Holden can be quite a jerk I think that he could learn to have some more people skills and eventually be liked by more people in his life. In all reality there are only two people that he can stand. They are Jane Gallagher and his little sister Phoebe. These people are the only ones that he has ever really opened up to and that he fells comfortable opening up to. If he could treat the people in his life with half of the attitude that he treats them with he would be alright.
