cleanliness: she wants a hug, but she is worried that people's hands will touch her;
against politeness and hypocrisy: the female neighbor who wants to accompany her for the night simply refuses, and the cakes that others don't bother to make are thrown away, using The stranger who will socialize at the memorial service, please go directly.
Childlike innocence: jumping on the trampoline, eating ice cubes, playing with glitter balls, and cutting paper snowflakes.
She doesn't really hate crowds, she just has a self-sufficient world and doesn't need that superficial greeting with others. She said she likes "useful" people, people who really let her be who she is and don't bother her with judging her by her own values. Like her parents, give her space to live independently; like her daughter, she can share the childlike world with her; like Alex, help her walk the dog and play Scrabble with her. . .
Selfish? Childish? perhaps. But aren't we the same? It's just that our world is ventilated in all directions, so we have to put down our posture and adjust our direction at any time according to the expectations of others.
Linda seems to stay in the "I hate everything, don't bother me" period of teenager forever, her speech and demeanor always make people frown and laugh. But I think she's a lovely person, and I want to be that maggie, cool, walk in the door without a word, go out with a gust of wind, and help her with the trash bag she can't touch.
