When Holden meets with Mr. Antolini, he is dead tired, and becoming ill. Antolini gives him many things to think about, though Holden is having trouble focusing. Holden finally goes to sleep, and wakes later when Antolini is patting his head. Holden interprets this as a homosexual pass, and hurriedly leaves the apartment, but almost immediately begins to ask himself if he over-reacted. Holden at this point is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown, and that generally includes symptoms of paranoia, too - such as his reaction to Antolini.
