<p>This is an example of a satiation point or bliss point. Basically you want a particular point and getting further away from this point decreases your utility. The indifference curves look like concentric circles around a specific point, in your case (5,5) is the bliss point.</p>

I think the bliss point is a different situation, in this question the point (5,5) is indifferent to the point (6,6). as more isn't better in this situation. But in a bliss point case, more is actually worse as u get away from your bliss point, so the point (6,6) would be worse than (5,5)

<p>Suppose my preferences are such that I like more of both goods, but only up to a
point. After I have 5 units of both goods, that’s as good as it gets, and I’m indifferent if I
get more.
how do u draw the indifference curves? it seems that any bundle with more than five units of both goods are the same, so any line in that area is useless</p>

Perhaps the "curve" is not a line, but an area then?

The area from $(0, 0)$ to $(5, 5)$ would be just like any other two-good indifference curve. Then since the area $\{(x, y): x \geq 5, y \geq 5\}$ has the same utility, they're all on the same "indifference curve" (so that's more like an "indifference area").

Not sure what the indifference curves would look like, say, at $(80, 2)$ though since you didn't specify if that's better or worse than $(5, 5)$.
