you extend your arm and then you take a picture of yourself so you pout you smile but you're taking a picture of yourself okay so that is a selfie a self picture now as i said that it's typically taken by extending your arm but you can also take a self picture of yourself by clicking it or pointing your camera phone at a mirror okay so many of y'all might have come across pictures um that are uploaded on facebook or twitter so these pictures are taken they are selfies but they are taken by point

ing at the mirror so that is also a selfie okay then another word over here is groupie now groupie is pretty much like a selfie well the only difference is that a groupie is taken by couple of people so basically by two or more members wherein one of the member extends their arm and take a picture and so that all other group members are covered in the picture okay so that's a groupie everybody is doing it these days it's pretty much in uh at the awards at any functions at any parties there are t
