It has to do with the properties of flat mirrors and how light reflects off of them - what you are looking when you look into a mirror is a virtual image. The way you see light rays as it hits the mirror makes it look as if there is an image on the other side.
Concave mirrors will give you an inverted image - that's why when you look into a spoon it looks as if you are upside down.

It is simple physics, your eyes capture the light "emitted-reflect" from your face that is at reflect from the mirror and the reflection of the light is what gives you the sensation of left-right and right-left. it is not up-down, down-up because you usually use a flat mirror, helping stop the complete distortion of your image's reflection.

The mirror reflects your image---it does not reverse it. Right and left doesn't change so up and down doesn't either.

it really is style of perplexing to say the picture will improve its left hand. as an example it will improve its hand it really is on the right aspect. Then each thing is okay because the picture's head is upside and the raised hand on the right. the in reality axis it quite is reversed is the single perpendicular to the reflect's floor. although that's a effective element. the clarification why this replaced into perplexing is that our bodies are just about symmetric to this turn, so as that the picture appears like a human grew to develop into in the route of us. If we were no longer so symmetric, we does no longer imagine so.

If someone is standing in front of you and facing you, their right is your left and your right is their left. Same as with looking in a mirror. It's as if you are standing in front of yourself facing you, if you raise your right hand, your 'reflection' also raises it's right hand, even though it looks as though it's the left hand.

Actually, when we see things our eyes see it upside down and the image is then flipped so we see it right. That has to do with the round shape of our eyes.
