I understand where you are coming from. Catcher in the Rye resonated incredibly strongly with me when I read it and I completely understood Holden and why he was feeling how he was feeling. I'd felt it too. Salinger tapped into something many of us feel. To varying degrees we get past it. Salinger barely did, becoming a recluse. I got past it to some extent. I hope you do better than Salinger and I.
A part of me would much rather just be a recluse. I feel like the most important person in my entire world just forgot who I am, and I don't want to feel that again. Whenever I talk about it people just say it was meant to happen, but they don't get what I'm feeling...its the worst pain I've ever felt, even worse than when I'd lot my father or when I realized my brother wasn't coming back...
I want to be like Holden Caulfield?
