In the book Catcher in the Rye Holden tends to call people he doesn't like phonies, which is just about everybody. Holden himself is very judgemental and has a poor outlook on life and people, which would explain how he depresses himself so easily. I believe Holden himself is a phony, all the things he blames other people for being phony for is something he himself does. for example how Stradlader moves from girl to girl, using them for his own agenda than dumping them and moving on without caring. Holden often, in the novel is putting the moves on women, no matter who they are, and all ways trying to get laid, except when ever he gets close to it he always gets nervous and backs out. I think if Holden actually cared, and tried to see the better of people, and grew a backbone he would be a lot better off, be doing better in school, and wouldn't always be getting depressed, until this happens I don't think he'll ever get a girl or anywhere in life, the only reason why he's doing so bad is because of his own laziness.
In short Holden needs to grow up and stop acting like a huge phony.
