I tried doing the process I explained in the title, and even using the user-- method I cannot get it to install or find anything. I tried both later versions and the newer versions of the requests module in python.

Before this I tried without user and it had some error involving the fact that I had Python 2.7.

Thanks to all

just try

pip install --user requests

instead of Anthony type --user

--user makes pip install packages in your home directory instead, which doesn't require any special privileges. https://stackoverflow.com/a/42989020/4414156

Bonus Tip: if you are using Atom, or for the sake of any editor and you are using PYTHON, you must use virtual environments. It will keep your packages clean and prevent conflict.
