Answer 1

intimacy

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! According to Erikson, intimacy is formed in love relationships. It is when you manage to be close to others with a feeling of knowing who you are and without fear of “losing” yourself. If people cannot form these intimate relationships, a feeling of unwanted isolation may arise, awakening feelings of darkness and anguish.

Answer 2

Answer: Intimacy

Explanation: According to Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development which describes sequential personality development in an individual from infancy to adulthood.

Intimacy and Isolation marks the sixth stage of Erikson's psychosocial theory which occurs between age 18-25. It centers on moulding affectionate and close relationships with other people especially those who aren't part of our family. The ability to develop a sense of trust, commitment and affection while also sharing one's thought and feelings with others will lead to intimacy and foster the virtue of love and compassion. Inability to make commitment, share and trust others results in isolation

which could yield despondency.
