    Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn’t matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it’s mounted.

    A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

      Well at least you didn’t call my body pasty white, I haven’t been to the lake as much as I wanted this year.

      Joking aside, I believe vsauce had a short about this, was useful to get a visual.
