He feels guilty about Lucy and he doesn't want anyone telling him it's okay and it's not his fault that this happened when it is his fault. He lied to Mark because he is trying to make up for not being able to save Lucy. But of course that's impossible.

While I agree he's trying to compensate for Lucy by 'throwing himself into his work,' I also believe he's the only one who believes it's his fault. btw, I sure hope the producers follow through a little more on his grief -it would be a shame to throw away this story line as if nothing happened.

I think Carter is pushing everyone away because he feels guilty and probably sad that Lucy died. He's also probably sad because his family never came to vist him, I mean his nuclear family.
