I think that maybe pets are the best answer to 5s loneliness. Although I would like to be a 1w2 ideally - to be able to get along well with others - and have fabulous ethically perfect ideal relationships with others - I was never any good at that - I always stunk at it- the next best is - accept my limitations and settle for pets.

What do other 5s think about this?
When hope for a spouse and children is gone - the next best is 2 cats by a fireplace inside and 2 horses outside in a barn.
