Honestly, it may be why no one is bothering me in person AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE. “Old Me” is the younger self I was a long time ago! I was very active minded and talkative. In some ways I was a popular child to pick on because of it. It is gone from me. The “Newer Me”? I may even have GERD along with IBS. Speaking in person is not something I do a lot of anymore. I have not in a long time, no need to.
Replacements? Plural? Yeah, why not. Instead of one person doing a monologue, there is probably a team, a family, a group of people who have gotten together at times to talk about stuff like I used to all by myself.
Why do I think there are replacements nearby? Oh, because I am clearly SNOOPED. Someone, maybe more are also “on the ‘wind'” picking on me. Probably why no one wants to talk to me in person. They believe they are snooping content? This is the new KSPL?
Are there copy cats? I DO NOT KNOW. I don’t think they are necessary now. A lot of things are just really done.
