How might you refute the argument that Holden's plight derives from him simply being a misanthrope and/or hypocrite?

Throughout the book, The Catcher in the Rye, we see that Holden gets himself in a lot of tough situations, such as getting in a fight with Stradlater, or even getting kicked out of Pencey. Behind every problem there is a reason why. The difficult situation some readers find is that Holden cannot accept the corrupt world. He believes that the majority of the people on this planet are phonies. As I have said before, behind every story there is a reason. Holden could have started believing the world was so unfair after the loss of his younger brother. In the book, there are only a couple people Holden admire, his two siblings, Allie and Phoebe, Carl Luce, and the two nuns. The only reason why he does not think of them as phonies is because they have valuable qualities. They please Holden, they interest Holden, and they also amuse Holden. Holden does not shun himself away from others. We see that Holden still interacts with people throughout the book. Therefore, he is not a complete misanthrope. When Holden’s younger brother passed away, Holden had no idea how to handle this situation. The day of Allie’s death, we find him in the hospital. Holden does not know how to control his feelings. Therefore, he takes them out on the world. He wants to believe the world is corrupt for taking away his beloved younger brother. Holden gets himself into difficult situations for his actions. We cannot always say, “Oh, it’s because his younger brother died.” There are a lot of people out there that lose a valuable family member, but we do not see them failing at life. They want to succeed, and carry on with their life. Holden just uses his brother’s death as an excuse to escape from the real world, and enter his idealistic version of a “real world” so that he does not ever have to face reality. This part of Holden is immature.
