Holden not wanting to look like a screwball is ironic because his behavior and thoughts throughout the novel suggest that he often comes across as eccentric, hypocritical, and out of touch with reality. Despite his resistance to being seen as strange or abnormal, he consistently exhibits behaviors and attitudes that could be perceived in that way.
