Quote 1
Then the police arrived. I like the police. They have uniforms and numbers and you know what they are meant to be doing. (11.1)
This naturally implies that Christopher has difficulty with most other people because, well, he doesn't know what "they are meant to be doing," and that makes him nervous.
