How do most people cope, when they fail at things they cannot do again?

Work on the theory that there is no failure - only feedback. It's your attitude to feedback where you need to concentrate. The great thing about not achieving a goal by one method is that you have learned one way not to achieve your goal, and you are one more method nearer achieving it.
If it isn't working do something different, it doesn't matter what, anything is better than something that doesn't work.
This re-frames a negative motivation to a positive and focuses you on the goal. I guarantee you will achieve whatever you want thinking like this.
Enjoy

In my life many people told me how I would not make it the funniest thing to me is sometimes it was even written down on paper Black and White.
Im very grateful that I overcome each one of these obsticals.
You asked how do you cope when you fail at things you cannot do agian maybe it is not your destiny to go on that path but it is your choice are you accepting this rejection or not.

Cannot do again? Like what?
I used to get really down on myself (I was a perfectionist as a kid / teenager), but I've learned to chill out a bit more over the years. I just remind myself that it's no big deal and that there are plenty of people far worse-off in this world than little old me and my silly 'problems'! That helps!

To me, failure is the launching pad of success, If I play safe I can not learn.
A small baby fell down several time and one day start walking.
As a human being if we want to learn or to do something there is a probability of failure too. I prefer to learn by that failure and try to avoid in future. But there are people they keep repeating their failure and blame fate.
This is my short answer to your question.

Philosophically speaking, I have dealt with my failures by accepting them, keeping meditating and telling myself each one was/is my lesson worth reflecting to teach myself to see the light with my own experience. Indeed, I have learned a lot from those unusual lessons since there were no such lessons in any textbooks I studied at schools or universities.

the most successful people in the world had to go through bad experiences and ridicule to become known, failure is not really failure at all, take it as a learning experience or a tool for growth

Yes it is not nice to fail or lose, no one ever feels good about that.
It is not easy but you have to look for the good side of it. believe it or not there is good every bad thing.
The important thing is not to beat yourself up too much.
Accept it! and move on.
