Developmental Theory
According to Erick Erikson’s theory, I am currently in the sixth stage, which is intimacy versus isolation. A stage that begins in young adulthood and progresses all through to around the age of 40 years (Orenstein & Lewis, 2020). At this stage, people build intimacy by being intimate, not only through sex but also forging closeness. This does not have to be necessary with a sex partner; it can be with family members and friends. They also build it by showing care to others and making commitments by being part of relationships. To avoid isolation, people at this stage will tend to avoid any negative talk and start practicing new social skills in an attempt to create new working relationships. They avoid negative self-talk by focusing on more realistic talks.
To build skills, they enroll in a short course on the development of skills. If one fails to go through this stage successfully, then they develop problems with relationships and are always having problems with their partners, parents, friends, sisters, and brothers.
From my experiences, a new stage of life, aggressiveness versus dormancy, should appear between the ages of 24 to 40. A stage in life where people want to have a life layout as they planned at an early age or previous stage. They have a strong belief that everything is possible and work extra hard to make it work. Failure to have life as they desire, they become hopeless and go into depression.
I am in this new developmental stage right now and beginning to realize that not everything happens the way we want in life.
