The Inability to Make Meaningful Human Connections

http://www.itxp.ca/access/images/brain_cage.jpg

The inability to make meaningful human connections is simple. You talk yourself into the mind frame that you cannot do it. That you are a loser and those other people do not like you. In a since the fact that you are inside the a box with everyone walking freely outside. You might feel alone and in a sense worthless. I choose this picture because it shows a brain in a cage. It shows this them simply and correctly.
An example from our reading is how Tillie is rather withdrawn from society. She keeps to herself and studies.
Then another one would be Beatrice, and how she is scared and emotionally fragile when Ruth calls her Betty the Loon.
