In the 6th stage which is the Isolation v/s intimacy stage.

Explanation:

According to Erik Erikson, development happens when a conflicting crisis or dilemma is resolved during certain stage of life. this crisis in a way defines a person's personality and general goals at a particular age.

the 6th stage is for early adulthood, ranging from the ages of early 20s to early 40s. A person decides weather they want to associate with other people and form lasting relationships in this age. the failure to do so may lead to feelings of isolation. some people may develop a liking for this solitude and thus decide on a life alone.
