Cobyn is the polar opposite of this. He says he feels ignored whenever he talks about gardening because people rarely listen, and he says no one cares about gardening these days or something along those lines while explaining how his shop wasn't doing well. He still dedicates himself to gardening. He doesn't need external validation to be motivated to do it, it's just something that makes him happy and that's that. Obviously it sucks he has no one to express his love of gardening to, and he needs business to come into his store so he could keep it open, but none of that manifests as insecurity(?) like it does with Vega. It moreso manifests as him being extra appreciative of people who do listen to and support him, but not really holding it against himself or anyone else if they don't.
