No matter how far you stand from a mirror, your image appears erect. The mirror is likely to be

The image formed by a mirror appears erect regardless of the distance from the mirror in two specific cases: plane mirrors and convex mirrors. A plane mirror always forms a virtual, erect image that is the same size as the object [4]. Similarly, a convex mirror always produces a virtual, erect, and diminished image, no matter where the object is placed in front of it [3]. In contrast, a concave mirror only produces an erect image when the object is placed very close to the mirror, specifically between the pole and the focal point [3]. If the object is moved further away from a concave mirror (beyond the focal point), the image becomes real and inverted [4]. Therefore, if the image remains erect at all distances, the mirror must be either plane or convex [1].
