- When Holden goes to New York when he is expelled, he is isolated from everyone. This is because he has no friends that he can stay with, and he does not want to go home to his family. This was done by his own actions, because he could have chosen to go home.
- When Holden has a date with Sally, he was not isolated. Yet because his thoughts started to wander to running away from home with Sally coming with him and spending the rest of their life together, Holden scared Sally away. This left him dateless and alone.
- When Holden visits Phoebe at home, he could have chosen to stay home, which would have ended his isolation period. But he decided to go back to being 'homeless' until he was 'ready to go back home'. This situation resulted in Holden ending up isolated once again. You think he would have learnt his lesson.

His behaviour in these instances are the result of his immaturity. In all three cases, he could have easily chosen the 'right choice' to return home in cases 1 and 3. or in case 2, he could have kept his opinions to himself. Holden is immature as he is not able to chose the correct decision for the himself.
