Answer 1

According to Erikson, young adults who do not establish intimate relationships may experience feelings of loneliness and emotional isolation.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, during young adulthood (i.e., 20s through early 40s), the main task is intimacy versus isolation. After developing a sense of self in adolescence, individuals are ready to form intimate relationships with others. Those who do not establish intimate relationships during this stage may experience feelings of loneliness and emotional isolation.
