Intimacy and Isolation

This stage typically occurs during ages 18-30. Individuals strive to develop intimacy through close relationships rather than isolating themselves. Intimacy involves feeling close to partners, friends, and one's community through love, care, and understanding. Maladaptive behaviors include promiscuity from a fear of commitment and an inability to sustain long-term relationships. Isolating oneself from love, friendships, and others can lead to developing hatred and negatively impact one's personality.
