Answer:
According to Erikson, a young adult who does not seek out close relationships with other people may develop a sense of: isolation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sixth stage of Erik Erikson's Theory of Psychosocial Development is '' intimacy vs. isolation '' (from 21 to 39 years approximately). It is about early adulthood. The concern in this period of life is focused on achieving intimate relationships, that is, maintaining and achieving close relationships with another person, mutually. The main task is to achieve a certain degree of intimacy, the opposite of being in isolation. If the stage is not successfully passed, it implies a failure in intimate relationships with others, the young adult being unable to build close relationships, isolating himself/herself from those around him/her.
