Assuming you mean if you were inside a tube made from reflective material like aluminum, silver, or gold,etc. Without making any assumptions of any kind, the simple answer is that you would see yourself pretty much like you would in a regular mirror but with a very greatly distortion. The extent of distortion depends a lot on how big the tube is (diameter) and how close you are standing to the curved surface of the tube wall. Essentially the tube will act like a mirrored lens so the image will appear more distorted as go up or down from the center. If you have ever been in a Fun House at a carnival there is always a hall of mirrors in which mirrors of different shapes and curvatures show this kind of effect.
