My first thought is that it might be overwatered- can you post a picture?

Is it actually outside all the time?

Both cacti and succulents don't do well in ceramic or plastic pots. Unless it's nursery, pots usually are fine. Still being careful with the whole watering.They do very well in terracotta pots.

You only need to water once a month use 4 ice cubes and change to terra cotta pots you have to ignore them and then they will perform! Silly little cactus
