Intimacy vs isolation: In psychology, the term intimacy versus isolation is defined as one of the stages in the theory of psychosocial development which is proposed by Erik Erikson. It starts with the age of approximately eighteen years and lasts through forty years i.e, the period between young adulthood and late adulthood. It is the sixth stage in Erikson's theory.
At this stage, the main conflict that occurs in an individual's life is the center of making a loving and intimate relationship with someone else. In case, a person is not willing to find a person for oneself then he or she will develop a sense of isolation and often feels alone and develop an inferiority complex.
