"I am kind a of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy." -Jd Salinger

I think that this quote by Jd Salinger is saying many different things. I think he is trying to say that he almost likes to be depressed, or alone, and that he greatly enjoys solitude. He is nervous that people are trying to make him happy, and that people and that people are trying to make him sociable. In my opinion, he must have endured something in his life that makes him prefer to be alone. Whether it be a personal trauma, an experience from his childhood, or maybe just the way that he perceives the world. I think that people should enjoy and experience solitude to a certain degree. I think that you should always be able to be alone and independent, however, you should also have people in your life that you can go to when you need advice, help, or even just a friend.
