I can see how people could say that selfies and self portraits are the same thing, but in my opinion, they're not. I see that self portraits are more in depth and usually have a story to them, they make you feel something. Selfies are usually something you would just take with your bad quality phone camera and put it on social media.
Self portraits were a bigger thing back in the day, because now it is so easy to just take a picture and place filters on it for instagram, self portraits are starting to leave the picture - no pun intended. :) Selfies are "technically" the same thing as self portraits, because they are both a picture of you. Self portraits could also be painted, sketched or photographed, while a selfie can only be taken as a picture.
My personal opinion is that selfies and self portraits are very different things because of their importance in different ways.
