As an older 5 friend of mine once wrote in a post to an enneagram list, 5s DO care. I wouldn't walk out unless I had reached a threashold...Before I reach this invisible line of NO return, I'll have emited a fair nber of warnings. One fact is that 5s are apparently too accomodating, thus abusive types won't listen to the warnings and will get caught short because of their own shortsightedness.
However, I would NEVER hurt anyone on purpose.

: : Can Fives really shut down so easily?

: ***Yes, we can, and do. But only for reasons being that consist of for the sake of protecting ourselves - certainly not for the sake of being 'rude' or 'mean' or any other negative thoughts others (usually Fs, but not always) usually attribute to us.

:
: I cannot cut my love off so easily...I understand the impluse but my emotions don't switch off and down, esp. when I love someone.

: ***If you understand, then just do it. Just forget about the past, and move on. Dwelling on past always only just makes things worse. It's over. Just move on. Life is too short to not enjoy the rest of it.

: -Margaret - (hope this helped)

: : Insights from Fives, and esp. INTJs, would be greatly apprieciated.
: : Thanks,
