I never drink or smoke to reason with my head... I do that stuff to calm it down.
I got out of HS with pretty much straight As and took advance courses. When I got to college, I found Cs hard to pull. I have failed my share of tests, courses, and life lessons. Yet, I learned that the feeling I get IS a bad feeling, doesn't mean that it is a wrong feeling only that I don't want to ever have it again. So failure makes me try harder, manage my time better, and pay more important to the things that matter to me.
In college partys were sometime more important and that meant failing a test. Oh, well. Yet, after a while I got tired of being in school and trying to stay one point ahead of the pass/fail curve. So, I started a strict study regiment over my last 2 years. Ended up graduating and now have a good job.
How to deal with failure? Learn from it. Not, learn how not to fail or succeed, but learn more about yourself and what is it about yourself that caused you to fail... Heck, you could of easily succeeded.

Japher, yeah.. I have a plan, I want to come to transfer to US for a year or two to study, and I was planning on keeping straight A's, to be the best you know. At least the best in that school.. to have the best opportunity to do that. Now I failed the straight A score horribly. I won't get A after re-take either.. It'll take hell to get even a B.
I admit it was difficult test, it wasn't easy even in normal standards, but damn I HATE LOSING!
It seems like I'm horrible at losing. I just can't take it so good. So that's why I'm asking how everyone deals with it, since I suck at it.
alva, I know what you mean. I just can't do that. You know, some people think 'I score X amount of points and I'm happy.. everything extra is bonus'. I think 'I can lose 2 points from maximum, and if it's more, I need to kill someone'.  .. can't help it!

I've figured it out - all I have to do is get rid of my conscience. If I don't have to feel bad about stuff, then I can kill people or beat up on my kids or destroy property or become a personal injury lawyer and I can make a ton of money and never, ever feel bad about what I had to do to get there. You're never a failure if you don't feel bad about it! Who needs morals if you've got money.
Clorox is great for getting bloodstains out. If you have to kill someone, make sure it's an unappreciated minority - if you're in California, kill a Mexican, if you're in Florida, kill a Cuban, DC - black - you get the picture.
Just don't kill whitey, cuz those guys will hunt you down and eat you. They've got unions, gas chambers, and the media.

Apparently I'm channeling Liberace and you're channeling George Michaels.

I just do something fun and move on. I really am a pragmatist and accept that I have no control over things like a test I have already taken-- The time to worry about that was before hand and harness that worry into work to avoid the failure I fear.
When I have failed at something, I usually just try it again until I succeed . . . ie strike out with one hottie . . . go date another hottie . . fail a test . . . go date a hottie . .. lose that important job . . . go out with a hottie
Hmm I see a pattern here. But seriously , there are very few problems that don't look better with a hottie on your arm.
If your failure is that you can NEVER get the hottie, try beer.

I deal with stress by trying to kill myself. It's a good thing I'm such a failure at it.
