Answer 1

Answer:

develop a sense of isolation.

Explanation:

Erik Erikson has defined isolation in his theory of psychosocial development and named it as intimacy versus isolation which is the sixth stage. It occurs during young adulthood between nineteen to forty years of age. In this stage, the main focus is on forming a loving, and innate relationship with that of another person.

A person who fails in developing or experiencing a healthy and satisfying relationship with another person will be lonely and isolated.
