Is it normal when you look in the mirror it is just a person?

I'm not sure how to explain this because this is how I've always felt, when looking in the mirror I don't really think "that's me" and I don't really know what I look like. I know it is me, but I don't really see anyone significant to my mind, just a person that's supposed to be "me". I could recognize myself in a picture of I'm told I'm in it. But I'm not sure other than that. Does everyone do this?

    Maybe "mirrored-self misidentification"?

    Apparently most often seen in people with dementia, but can be caused by other neurological problems.

      It's not really that I think it's another person, I know it's supposed to be me, but it's more like just looking at a stranger than looking at myself
