I guess it is because of preception.... if your standing about a metre away from the mirror... it will appear your reflection is a metre behind the mirror
A virtual image appears behind the mirror. It is not a real image formed by light rays converging at a point but is instead an apparent image that appears to be behind the mirror.
A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the reflected rays do not actually converge to form an image behind the mirror, but appear to diverge from a point behind the mirror.
When an image is said to be "behind the mirror," it means that the image appears to be located at a point behind the mirror's surface. This is a virtual image formed by the mirror's reflection properties, where the light rays do not actually converge at that point but appear to originate from it due to how we perceive reflection.
A plane mirror forms a virtual image because the rays of light appear to be coming from behind the mirror, where the image is located. The image appears to be the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it, creating the illusion of a virtual image.
The image appeared to be located behind the mirror because of the phenomenon of reflection. When light hits a mirror, it bounces off in a way that creates the illusion that the image is located behind the mirror at the same distance as the actual object in front of it.

Same distance behind mirror.

It's a virtual reflection of the object which appears as an image as much behind the mirror as the distance of the object in front.
Images in a convex mirror appear smaller, virtual, and upright. The reflected image is located behind the mirror and its size depends on the object's distance from the mirror.
An image in a plane mirror appears to be located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is in front of the mirror. This creates the illusion that the image is a mirrored reflection of the object, with the same size and orientation.
The same speed: the image will always appear to be at a point exactly behind the mirror as the object is in front.
The image of an object will appear the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it. This is due to the reflection of light rays creating a virtual image that mimics the distance of the object.
A convex mirror always forms a virtual image, meaning that the light rays appear to be coming from a point behind the mirror. Thus, a real image is never formed by a convex mirror.
