If they diverged recently, they’re just you under different circumstances. As the point of divergence recedes into the past, the less you should call them ‘you’. To the extent that they differ from you, they’re different people. You might as well complain that other people are better or worse than you.

Thank you! You’re right, of course, and that does make me feel better.
