I just failed in front of everyone else, how can I make it look cool? Or what should I do?

Just own it. People can sense fear and weakness, and that's what it is when you run and hide from your failures. I was taught as a stage actor- if it's right there on stage in front of everyone, you can't pretend it didn't happen, even if it wasn't supposed to happen you have to acknowledge it.
So own it and be yourself. Everyone fails. Not everyone has the courage to admit it, stand tall, and move on.Like (3)

Embrace it. Adolescents worry about looking cool, adults (who have their act together) reflect on it, learn from it, and are better for it. Without failure there is no personal growth. You will be better for whatever you are going through right now...

THAT IS AWESOME !!! Seriously ! I learned a long time ago that you gain a lot of respect and admiration by simply admitting that you failed and you will do better or correct it or what ever you have to do to make it right.
You do not need to make it look cool, just admitting it, Yes, I screwed up and I can take care of it. IS BEING COOL !Like (1)

Failure is a fact of life. Don't exploit it in the name of looking cool. Cool is accepting our imperfections, looking from them, and looking forward instead of back.

I was always told "if you're going to fail, fail gloriously."
