My cactus is looking a little sad, and I don’t know how to fix it!

they look pretty okay, I can't seem to find what you in particular think looks a lil' sad, but if you told me I think I could help! I'm pretty good with cacti 🤷🏼‍♀️

The little flower bulbs are they’re, and the whole cactus seems a little more droopy

It looks pretty good. Maybe a tad stretched out. I’d add a grow light as windows filter out a lot of the strength of sunlight.
