Answer:

intimacy versus isolation

Explanation:

In the intimacy versus isolation stage a person explores their relationships with other people.

There are two results of this stage.

A person makes lasting relationships with people and is happy.

A person fears the what being intimate might mean and rejects all forms of relationships. This likely would lead to depression, loneliness and isolation.

Here, Devin is cautious about relationships and makes sure that he does not get hurt during the relationship. Hence is in the intimacy versus isolation stage.
