Why does a far object look small?
the reason a far object looks small is because of the light bouncing off of that object. only the light waves bouncing off and comming directly to your eye will you see. there is much more light being reflected from that object but because of your distance from it the majority of the light waves have traveled in other directions. ( here is a thought experiment ) if you had a 1foot by 1foot mirror and you were standing 100 feet in front of it, if you shined a flashlight directly at the mirror would the light be the same brightness when it is reflected back.

Why can't you see your reflection in a piece of paper?
You can see your reflection on a mirror because it is smooth and flat, so the light ray that hits the mirror gets reflected in an angle that enters your eye. It's also the reason why without light, you can't see yourself even in front of a mirror. In a piece of paper, it is not smooth and flat (it is actually rough), so light rays that hits the paper gets scattered reflection, meaning the light rays are reflected in many different angles. - You can experiment this by shining a beam of light with room lights OFF (like those pen with lights, or the red dot light that people use to mess around aiming at people) through a glass prism or something, the light ray will get reflected off at one angle, depending on the angle you aim at the glass prism. ON THE OTHER HAND, if you shine that light beam on the wall, no light ray will be reflected off, and you can see the wall instead BECAUSE the light ray you shined is scattered in many different angles.
