- Problems in the couple relationship, the difficulty in maintaining interpersonal relationships, on a model of emotional independence, and that generates different disagreements (which they point out as difficulties that they do not know how to deal with ..)
- Loneliness, or difficulty in having and making friends, appears as an increasingly widespread problem;
especially and more frequent in young people with functional diversity.
