The problem is her attitude. "Linda" gets angry over the littlest thing, yet doesn't understand why no one wants to visit her. This has been going on for years.
In Japan's English classroom, students learn that "less" and "lesser" are the comparative forms of "little" and "least" is the superlative. However, native speakers seem to use "littlest" at times. Collins Cobuild Advanced Dictionary of American English refers to this usage.
