See, what people don't realize, cactus thrive on neglect.

I have an anxious attachment to plants and over water them, so instead of neglecting it, I over care for it, next time I will buy a cactus and ghost it so it won't die

Exactly! Same thing happened to a girl I used to know. She had two cactuses, put one on a window behind a curtain and forgot about it. The other, in full view, she kills it with her love. She finds the other thriving when she is packing up for a move.

omg, it seems that the secret of love is distance, your friend saved herself 2 years of therapy
