-Usually quite thin.
-Usually dress... hard to explain. An element of reserve there, but subtle drama, too. They are very good at mixing black with other colors, but not a lot of color usually.
-When they smile for pictures sometimes their eyes remain relaxed, which can make their smile look phony (even though it probably isn't fake).
-They can seem "off-limits" from afar, but once you get to know them, you won't find a better or more caring listener.
-Dry sense of humor, sometimes making fun of others without them being aware of it, subtle puns not uncommon.
So true. I often feel like I can only truly be myself when I am on my own. Around other people automatically the Fe kicks in, I adjust myself to them and sometimes find it hard to draw the line (so if I do it tends to be pretty abrupt). It's not like I am pretending to be someone I am not or like I am denying my own needs, it's just that the parts of my character that are necessary to relate to this person at that given moment come to the surface.
The more I trust someone the more I will show them other parts of my personality. I think I would want to marry the person with whom I can truly be myself, where I don't feel like I have to push certain parts of my character to the back because they don't understand them.
I am the same to some degree. Very conflict-avoidant. I can tell a stranger or an acquaintance to PLEASE stop doing something but the closer someone is to me (and the more F they are, Ts are easier to deal with) the more I shy away from confronting them.
However I have also realized that there is a good side to that. You always meet a person twice in your life (as we say in German) and sometimes it is helpful if you haven't pissed them off in the past (by having a fight with them) but they instead remember you as a peaceful and nice person. If you are someone who strives for harmony you will have less (relationship) bridges to mend.
Ive been thinking, INFJs seem to all have a certain level of sophistication that permeates their personality and countenance. An INFJ girl I know would fit perfectly on a Broadway stage, while I just kind of pull off the 'casual cool nerd' look. Maybe it isn't sophistication, rather than an intuitive harmony between our personality and how we express it in clothing and passive body language? Hmmmmm...
I would agree with this. I have had others describe me as 'poised' and always well put together (even when casual) and I'd say the same of my INFJ friends. I don't know that it's the clothes so much as the way we carry and present ourselves to others. 'Sophisticated' is probably an accurate word, although it could easily be misinterpreted by others as stand-offish/goody-two-shoes (well, sometimes that might be the case! ) or snobby.

Hmm... I almost never wear black. I like instead strong, clear colours like blues or reds.

So you people really think INFJs dress a certain way, or have certain physical traits? Or are you just having fun in here.
Mannerisms, and how one presents oneself to the world - that's something I think can be more consistent within a type. But again, it would be a pretty poor way to definitively type someone.
This does seem like it would be more consistent with type, since this comes from within, and is not a physical thing. But you can never be too sure. A lot of people I know of the same type are similar in ways (mentally), but totally different in others.
