okay yall. I've had this guy 2 days and he already hates me. I haven't even done anything! he came to me freshly repotted and watered so I'm not sure if it's just too much stress and a new environment? I checked thoroughly for bugs.... what am I missing?

I'm not an expert, but how is the sunlight where he's at? Mine act silly when they don't have enough light. Hopefully someone else has a better answer.

would that make him this sad in 2 or 3 days??? I could move him but I think he gets good light there

It might be a combination of water and the repotting stress. Syngoniums prefer to be a bit root bound and are susceptible to root rot so I'd definitely check the roots

upon repotting, I found the lady had given me a fresh cut of her syngonium smh which I didn't know. so I repotted him into something smaller because he had only a few roots, and watered him...

Ya know you're probably right... Not in this shape after2-3 days. I'm sorry, but I'm glad you got some good input from others.
