The main thing I saw was the confession of "water". When I saw ........"when I try to let things dry out more between waterings they die anyway. "
The word "try" usually means trying was not long enough. Too much water will only end up with a rotted plant which is death especially succulents. In the winter when my succulents are indoors they get a drink once a month or less.
My suggestion of plants that are easy for someone that loves to water is plants that do not like to dry out.
Callisia fragrans I bet you could not kill this plant even if you watered it too much.
Aglaonema
Bromelaid. Since you like to water these need to have water in their cup at least you can see if it needs water if the cup is dry.
