Ok, visualize it like this:

Draw yourself, with a small mirror at head height, a meter away. Draw your reflection at the same distance from the mirror on the other side.

Now do that again, but place the mirror 10 times further. Then draw lines from your eye, to the edge of the mirror, and to the reflection.

You'll reach the same point on your reflection.

Ok, I can see the point, but it's not usually what people mean when they can see their whole body. In that example, you're looking down or looking up. You never see your whole body at the same time. For your whole body to be entirely in your field of view, it absolutely does matter how close or far you are from the mirror. You can test it by going closer and further to any mirror.

... buddy, have you tried it? Get up, walk to a mirror and test it. You'll find that the picture shows you what happens

Yes, I have.

Have you tried it? Find a mirror big enough to show your whole body and press your face right up to it. Do you see your whole body? Now take a step back, do you see your whole body at the same time without having to look and up and down? Now walk several steps back and notice how much more you can see without moving your eyes.

We're talking about 2 separate concepts is the problem.
