Wait, aren't all Type 5's cranky hermits? Nope! Not at all.

But, as you probably already know, we do tend to crave solitude to different degrees at different times.

In this episode, we delve into how we Fives go about making space for solitude in our lives, as well as what can happen when too much solitude leads to isolation.

If you're a Five who likes your alone time or you have a Five in your life that sometimes disappears for days or weeks at a time, then you'll definitely want to listen to this whole episode.
