Definitely, group hug! It is depressing to learn that some plants just don't like our house(s). We've all been there. You're in a lot of company. Think about the wide range of conditions on the planet and that most spots have some plants there, it's clear that not every plant can survive every condition. The conditions inside a house don't mimic any outdoor condition, no plants are native to inside a house, so we are overcoming a lot when any plant can stay alive inside.

If you've only failed once, you haven't tried everything for that kind of plant. Trying the same plants again in a different way could be something to try. A terrarium or something. Or go look around where plants are sold and try some different ones.

If you go into it placing too much significance on a new plant staying alive, you'll be more disappointed if it doesn't work out. But if you bring 2 or 3 home to see if they like it, it's a pleasant surprise when they don't die. Set realistic expectations for yourself. The list of plants I've killed and no longer have is muuuuuuuuch longer than the list of plants that are still alive.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
