Can confirm that rolling sushi is harder than it looks. Did a full role once during an event at college with some actual Japanese college students studying where I live and it didn't turn out the greatest. Especially when it came to cutting it into pieces.
During that event we didn't have any knife sharpeners, so I was stuck with however sharp that knife was. So in the end, nothing I could have done would have made that much of a difference. Also, the important part is that it was some absolutely amazing sushi.
you didn't fit into the sushi roll shape and they put a bunch of pressure on you and now you're a mess of loose grains and torn seaweed.
but that's okay!
in the place you're from you could be another shape just as easily: chirashi-don, or onigiri, or neko manma. you would be just as delicious piled in a bowl, but in America the shape that sells the best is the elaborate and decorative and slinky shape of a sushi roll.
but you can be exactly as good when you're onigiri.

Rolling on the floor like a failed Sushi won't clean your trash on the table.

If sushi fails, roll it in a ball. All of it. Also delicious.

Then try sharpening your knife and wet the algae a little

I prefer to right the algae.

just like failed sushi, you're an absolute disaster but you're still a snack and cute in your own way 💕
