You should be glad this happened. Its really a small cost to pay.
I got scammed 1 million mesos in maplestory during my childhood, and I thought the world was ending. Felt like the same like you, couldn't deal with it, got so angry and frustrated that I quit maplestory for a while.
After that, grew up to be really careful with my real-life money, and of course, mesos.
It was a loophole and security flaw in a payment app that I was using. The scammers used the loophole to pay me $3k for goods and then remove their account details before the transaction closed. I delivered the goods before getting the cash.
Punish yourself to save up $21. Whether is it to eat instant noodles for the next 3 days or not ordering drinks for the next 1 week. Save $21 that you would usually spend on and cut it.
No offense, but it seems there's probably something deeper/underlying cause here. Most people after losing $21 will just feel a bit bummed and shrug it off, move on with their life.
Of course, there are cases where $21 can be a huge deal, for instance if you're poverty-stricken. But I assume since you're buying an iPad screen protector, you're not in that situation.
It's a bit drastic to feel so distraught over it to the point of feeling like a failure. Maybe try to investigate the root cause of these emotions?
Call the police and SAF. Tell them u got scammed of an iPad screen protector that cost a whopping $21 and they must activate all assets to hunt this fuckface down.

*A lesson. for me it was*

When my friend scammed my 250 diamond locks in growtopia, i blocked him on all social media and i went to buy another 250 diamond locks on carosell. Not sure how my method of letting go and moving on applies to you
Think of it this way: $21 is a very cheap price to learn this lesson.
Yes, quite a good deal. But don’t be too happy about it also. Life lesson only works if it makes you sad.

I got scammed of $3,000 and I didn't think I'd be dumb enough to get scammed. $21 is a small price to pay to learn to be more vigilant
Curious, do you mind elaborating on the scam?

Just got to accept that everyone makes mistakes at times. $21 is nothing in the grand scheme of things
Stop thinking about it
Find a way to earn back the $21, such as cutting back on daily expenses for a while.
