Trilemma of Personal Identity

I am 3 things. A mirror, the one viewing the mirror, and the one whose image is reflected in the mirror.

One can only pick 2. This is the trilemma of personal identity. Is this a false trilemma? Is the world in the mirror the same as the world outside the mirror, which we can't see?

The first two make me an idealist. The first and last make me a materialist. The last two make me a dualist.
