I hope I didn't come across as unempathetic to OP because that's definitely not what I was going for. I just wanted them to think what could actually be done in their situation like you are doing in yours.
The question about other's perception I find important because it could really be a misconception stemming from the fear of being judged poorly by peers and then actually believing they do, even if they don't.
With the second question I intended to be more practical. If you stop to assess your own performance and figure out where or why you blundered and how this could (sometimes easily) be avoided.
They're all just fucking with me

You're a lovely faux pas! Elegantly gauche.
