For anyone that hasn't experienced a panic attack, let me tell you.............it can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime. They are horrific. Until you have experienced one you will never know just how horrendous they are.
I was tired it was 3 am I deal cards for a living. I'm young and had never experienced one till 4th of July and now I count two 8th of July this year. I dont what was worse the gynophobia (coworkers talking smack) that comes after or the fear of a future one that I didn't know I was due for.
I got diagnosed with panic disorder at age 13 i thought i was having STROKES FOR OVER HALF OF MY LITTLE TINY LIFE!
You are correct, they are very unpleasant to experience.
Not anyone.
Just people with anxiety disorders… and yes, it’s terrible
had one for the first time in 20 years of my job, doing something I'm familar in presenting. Never had one before. It almost reduced me to tears. It was the second most horrific and one of the most embarrassing moments of my life
Micheal might see this as the most embarrassing moment of his life, but I hope he doesn't regret it because it inspired me. That may sound strange but to know that a confident, successful man is going through the same thing as me, which I always thought made me a weak, hopeless embarrassment of a human being, just reminds me that we are all human and this is just part of modern day life. I hope he uses the opportunity to talk more about anxiety and panic attacks to help normalise them and erase the ridiculous 'embarrassment' and shame surrounding them
Love Michael
beautiful comment
It happens--he's only human
***** But wat if.... he's not human! bam baaam bam
*****
no point in a curved tv?... there is a big point. it submerses you into a view that you cannot have on a flat image. especially in games.
Wait.... SO DOES THAT MEAN THAT STEVE JOBS WAS NO HUMAN And HAS TRASCENDED LIFE!? =O
Only?
@@Roffeeee korchata
nice to see some humanity in a celebrity every once in a while
Humanity? lol
Luake XBL So, humanity.
I can barely speak infront of 20 people (my class) without panicking, its ok
Thats why people like you and him should not go infront of big audiences and make speeches , it was samsungs fault for not choosing a better speaker
SBDAVINCI So you believe that you should accept the limitations anxiety creates and live your life by that? If you're willing to lay down and go with the 'flow' of lack of achievement, you're an idiot, everything takes practice, so they should carry on
Breaking Point No i dont believe that you should accept any limitations but i believe you should challenge them all the time in order to come over them. I also agree everything takes practice. Here is my argument. When a giant company like Samsung is holding a event, they should choose someone that has already challenged its limitations of speech and practiced enough in order to make a speech. Its not the speakers fault, but its Samsungs fault for choosing someone like him. Im sure there are millions of people who could done a excellent speech that Samsung could have chosen.
SBDAVINCI So how do you expect them to practice if they're not given an opportunity to do so?
Edin Jadadić I'm actually anxious before I stand up in class and talk in front of my classmates and not during the speech.When I start talking it usually goes away.Maybe it's the same case with you?
It's too bad that we are expected to be perfect.
that's a fair distance from perfect.. "excuse me" while I run away and pretend this never happened
No one expects anyone to be perfect. He only had to give a speech!!!
Ryan Lewis We falsely think so, but we are not.
I feel so bad when he walked off.
truly
Imagine if that door didn't open and he was stuck there awkwardly.
Lol nightmare
@@thedarktruthcometolight404 right lol

Shit I got a panic attack just watching this. Every second you’re up there is like absolute magnified torture. It’s like something else takes over you. The entire time someone is addressing you, you feel lightheaded and unable to focus on the topic at hand. Then when you’re attempting to speak you feel like puking. The utter shame you feel after is awful because not only do you feel like you let yourself down, but you also wonder if you can trust yourself again. Anxiety kills you
Same here… I couldn’t agreement more about the shame one experiences afterwards and the not being able to trust one self in the future. It’s just so embarrassing and as a man it makes you feel weak.
Very very true! It's so irrational aswel. Hit me when I reached 42 for no apparent reason! Still managing it now!
And it stays with you, forever, unless you can get it right, beat it, through exposure therapy, which I still can’t bring myself to do.
You ok?
You won't find a worse public speaker than me. In fact I think I'm the most nervous person in existence.
Same what i think but it aint true
Nope thats me
You should see me try to give a speech. I'm the most awkward public speaker ever.
Wrong. That is me
Me too
You can hear his breath being taken away while he struggles to come to terms with it. It’s heart wrenching to watch. Those who have had panic attacks can probably relate to the total loss of control you experience. Poor dude.
It’s a horrible experience like no other. This happened to me in 8th grade and it shattered my confidence to speak in front of others or even tell long stories to my friends, and I’m 31 now. Currently on Propranolol to manage symptoms.
@@alexshirley1371hey man I have had the same experience when i was in 9th grade , but I’m still recovering… today I have done speaking in front of my clas *over 30* students, and I’m still a little bit nervous but better than before its fine .. just try to speak in front of others and remind your self that it’s fine
Poor guy. Money or no money this is what we all fear.
+Salim Al-Jabry To speak in front of others..
+Salim Al-Jabry It's an advantage but not everyone can take an advantage of that advantage:)
+Salim Al-Jabry I agree but only the person that has anxiety knows how it feels . It's just pure fear for no reason. Or if it does have a reason it's different for everyone. I suffer from anxiety and the only way to overcome which I have learned is to face your fears. the more you face it the easier it becomes.
Except for David Brent.
Yes even though im different religion but its true. i was embarrassed speaking in front of my church one time and i had a panic attack but i know God allow it for me to be more humble , im still embarresaed when i talk in front of people but not as much
Nervous to begin with, which is fine, he'd have pulled through.
He accidentally spoke over the introduction from the presenter, then when he realised he done it, the mind scrambled. He's only human.
only people who have had a panic attack know how painful and heavy it is to carry every time, every moment, wherever we are the attack can happen without any sign
Everytime I have one I feel like I’m about to die… I swear it’s a heart attack. I get a weird warm rush over my head and body then my heart starts to beat so fast that I can feel it… I experienced one a year ago and then 2 nights ago… i don’t why but it puts me in a state of depression after I go through one because I truly think there’s something wrong with me
That's me everyday. It's hell.
😔
I feel for you man. I cannot do it.
Literally same. It’s awful
It's a Saul loss. You need to retrieve ur fragments
Same
Public speaking is hard. Say what you want to say about Michael Bay. I don't wish that experience to anyone...
As someone who suffers from anxiety attacks, it actually amazes me that this does not happen more often.
I felt embarassed watching this. Can't blame him though, there were a ton of people at CES and he's only a human... Things like this happen.
Did anyone else notice a 'thud' about three seconds after the sliding door closed? My guess is he punched a wall...we've all been there in one form or another.
Yeah, the thud definitely is noticeable.
Matt Carpenter timestamp?

Man, thanks for giving me the day's first great laugh.
Yep, that's a classic panic attack if there ever was one. I've suffered from them for years. The signs are all there. They are brutal and you really do feel like you're going to die. But his physical movements, nervous hand gestures and the mind going blank, been there, done that.
Glad to hear I am not the only one who deals with it. I still deal with it even going to a grocery store. How did u over come it?
You can tell this is anxiety / panic straight away from the moment he firsts enters the stage look at his body language and the leg swing when he shakes the guys hand. It must of been horrendous for him. Some people are just not made out to be great public speakers and I am one them I suffer with anxiety myself. Kudos for even walking out on that stage I couldn't do it myself. The moment after he walked off and the emotions he is feeling must of been tough I have been there myself it isn't nice. Why are people so critical? that is what is wrong with the world today. Anxiety / Stage fright and Panick attacks happen if that was me walking out I would of been like f**k this haha! it happens but fair play to him for even attempting it if he has anxiety. :)
Ally Biggs yeah...I agree. His tale tale sign was the shallow breathing. He did the best he could do. ❤ No judgement from a fellow "fighter". As for you, I hope you're having more good than bad days.
I disagree on the fact that not all people are cut out to be great public speakers the best public speakers were once so bad at public speaking
Oh man... most photographers and directors are behind the camera for a reason and not in front of it. He probably threw up in the back too...
sometimes when I get anxiety my mind just goes blank. it doesn't matter what I know or don't know I cant say anything
He's human. So he had an episode of a panic attack in a live televised event. I hope he overcomes this disorder
GAD can cause someone to have panic attacks, depersonalization & various other symptoms of other anxiety disorders
Dillon Callaway : what is GAD ?
generalized anxiety disorder
this is just what I have.
anxitey disorder and now for 4 months I have to suffer with depersonalisation and I don't know how to get over it...
What is depersonalization?
Three things: a) this can happen to anyone so you’re not alone; b) you’re anxiety is mostly not visible to audience, until Michael Bay started to walk off nobody could tell if he under extreme duress, so hold on and after a few initial moments anxiety goes down and you will be ok; c) public speaking is not a stage performance, audience is only interested in the content, so just focus into content and not on yourself. As you can tell, I am a survivor (as of today) and had my own moments of panic attacks on stage but learned to improve significantly by following these 3 points.
Whenever I have to speak in front of my class my heart starts beating out of my chest, I look away from everyone to avoid having them see how anxious I am, and my voice gets wobbly, weak, and more high-pitched. I realize how irrational it is to be afraid, but I can't control it.
Same boat man. You know what has actually helped a bit recently? To stop fighting it... if it happens be like "whatever.. I'll freak out and people will make fun of me. So what?"
I know it's hard but it's a way of anxiety treatmenta just like CBT or other methods. We want to analyze our symtoms which makes as fear it more. Just observe them and let it be (I know easier said than done)
@@federicorusso4378 been trying this. I think you have to get tired of anxiety, like 70 year old people, they just don't care anymore. Sometimes I get pretty comfortable in public, sometimes symptoms come back.
Sameeee
@@hakunamatataorigins yeahh 2 year update: I've sorta stopped caring and it came out of nowhere. I'm 20 now and I just got too tired to care.
I'm the same! It's so irrational aswel!
he handled it soo well to be honest I would've cried if I was gonna present in front of this many crowd
Happened to me and was unable to finish college after because I can’t do any presentations
I love the interviewer for not making it awkward for him!
I don't buy the teleprompter issue. that was a panic attack
It was a panic attack triggered by the loss of teleprompter.
I think he was very brave for going out there in the first place. It is not a easy condition to deal with and he has taken the first step to dealing with it and it takes time to get it under control. I too have tackled this condition.
Wait am I the only one that thought he was doing great at first? When I'm doing literal school presentations my voice starts shaking uncontrollably but his voice was so nice and steady!
Yep same here. I felt his voice was really steady
I bet we all think we are sound bad but are actually sounding normal, some pull through and some don't.
I've literally never liked Bay or his movies, but I have a bit of respect for him after this. Anxiety and panic attacks can be a nasty cycle especially for people who have to speak for a living.
What he had was a panic/anxiety attack. I've experienced it many times and it's horrible. I hope he's ok
This is one of THE most understandable and relatable things to happen. Its a known fact most people are scared of public speaking to varying extents, meaning most people experience a form of fear that has the potential to lead to a panic attack during a public speaking event. Therefore WHY should he or we feel embarrassed about this?! This is important for everyone to see, even successful, confident, smart men have panic attacks. Instead of letting them overcome us and drive us to a pit of shame we should have a sense of humour and laugh at them. Thanks for posting, content like this is normalising mental health and anxiety struggles induced by modern day life that we all need to be aware of and NOT be ashamed about.
Michael is a brave guy. Even a success story like him can have these. I started experiencing these at my work during presentations and it shattered me for a period of time. It was followed by depression and self doubt. I still battle these, but I understand it better so it’s a known part of me and I expect panic to show up and I manage it. Michael is brave and should be applauded.
same here man , once i was a new joiner in a very nasty IT teams, they just made a group and then told me to present myself. i got panic attack man , it was really bad one, mouth dry, feel of thirst , cannot talk .. so sad at all, i still run away from those situations..
Man, I know that scary feeling. It’s all encompassing. Your mind and body are in a free fall feeding off one another.
Couldn't love him more after this.. as someone who has suffered from social anxiety and attacks like this, and even if I didn't, it shows a lot. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's something we largely can't control. We all wish we could deliver a powerful, edge of your seat presentation or speech, but for many of us, it's just impossible when we become crippled like this.
Thank you, Michael Bay. Your, what many may perceive as a humiliating blunder, has helped to normalize a stigma
It’s amazing how the other guy was so nice about it! 😀
As soon as he said escape, that's the one word he could think about for the rest of this video
Poor guy
He's actually worth around half a billion dollars
@@declanmcdonnell6965..... and having panic attacks is somehow blunted by his wealth?
That sucks.
Michael Bay, if you ever read any of these comments, know that many of us have been there, have felt what you felt, faced the beast, and have never surrendered. When I see Michael in this video, I see myself in the audience (which I wasn’t) and want to stand-up and deflect the bad energy he’s feeling. I would imagine that Michael left the stage, went to the bathroom, looked himself in the mirror and said, “I can’t believe I just bailed on that audience”. Within 15 minutes he was probably ready to go back out there but the moment had passed. To all of you who get panics attacks, we’re with you.
Just shows that he's human.
What if this was just a perfect marketing technique? I mean I have already seen 3 of these videos in my sub box, and each are exploding. And you can't watch Michael Bay's panic without being told about the Samsung curved TV. Genious, or awful?
Interesting and feasible explanation. No marketing execs are that smart though are they?
Samsung was actually rather furious with Michael and he had lost a lot of money out of the deal, so he later had to apologize for it on television where he then only for a fraction of the money he was promised if he had actually done the presentation.
Stop it. Don't mess with my head. I actually looked into the TV after seeing this and I'm now just realizing it after this comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i bought this tv just to check whether it can cause panic attack
Btw, its great to see nice comments about this. There will also be a-holes, but anyway... all this support is just great. And once again, people that understand will just understand. The world is a good place sometimes.
I know that feel, bro.
Its hilarious to watch it happen to someone else but would be a nightmare if it happened to you.
I would sayids more awkward than hilarious
Jairzinho121 if you've ever been through one you would think it is horrific, not funny at all,
I feel for you, I cannot imagine the feeling of humiliation after this happened. You are a human being and this is just normal, it can happen to anyone. Sending love to you and to everyone who is in a tough situation like this, be kind to yourself
Panic attacks are one of the most hideous things you can think of. To have one publicly is so humiliating and soul crushing, it’s impossible to describe.
I can confirm it wasn't stage fright or panic attack, the autocue failed to work so he couldn't go on with his presentation.
Autocue, same as autoprompter.
Craftedvid I make every video without a teleprompter or script. When you're making millions of dollars and can't even illustrate a company, who probably paid you a few hundred thousand, there's a problem. How hard would it have been to say Transformers will look a lot more clear with 4K and displaying on a 4K TV it'll change the experience completely.
***** This is so true!
+Craftedvid LOL THANK GOD YOU CAN CONFIRM OF ALL PEOPLE PHEW
+Craftedvid what are u talking about ? he doesn't have an autocue. Don't you see he's losing confidence at the moment ? It's a panick attack. He doesn't need an autocue to talk about his work.
wow..his experience really hit home for me....i can relate to him, and im sure millions others can relate also... he did a good job at attempting....thats a huge step all on its own! great job michael, shows your human! blessings to you my friend
I used to be in bands and that was fine performing but now I have to present stuff to like 7 or 8 people and I have absolutely wild panic attacks lol. It's truly horrendous. Thanks for keeping this up, I hope Michael Bay is okay with it, it helps a lot of people including me.
I feel actually feel sorry for Bay..
Had to do a presentation in class... Never in my life have I ever stumbled over my words so much. I could only imagine how he felt in front of that many people.
My takeaway: we are all human.
This was very difficult to watch! I know EXACTLY what he went through. It is not fun at all! Feels like the walls are caving in while your mind is racing - your heart is racing and beating out of your chest and there is no escape!!
This is why I am taking improv classes. Gotta be able to think on your feet for those times your boss asks you to work overtime on a Friday.
lol exactly 😂
That's not a "panic attack". It's extreme discomfort in front of a large audience. A panic attack is a clinical state with very different symptoms.
I can’t imagine what those few moments back stage before he came out were like. This happened to me at my best friends wedding when I was supposed to give a best man speech. I sat in the corner by myself all night with ice cold hands freaking out scared to death trying to think of what to say and how to gather the courage to do it I must’ve drank 13 beers and still couldn’t calm down. I sat there and had a 3 hour long panic attack while everyone danced and mingled. Then luckily for me the DJ was cheap and inexperienced and never called me up
That did not look like a panic attack but rather an opportunity taken to leave the stage because the teleprompter stopped working. His appearance was scripted - the words fell away and he didn’t have a Plan B. Too bad the equipment failed but it looked like a pretty graceful exit to me.
I've been there! It's a horrific experience, especially when you're a proud person who's done loads of public speaking!
Really feel his pain
Yeah, I've had quite a few panic attacks over the years, and it really is a horrible feeling. It's like your body and mind just stop working, and literally all you can do is extricate yourself from the situation.
Host did a great job of keeping the mood up and his closing line was absolute 🔥!!!!
In a strange way seeing someone so famous struggle makes me less anxious, he tried and had to acknowledge his panic attack and that takes guts
Don't ever judge somebody having a panic attack. I'm a Lawyer. If anyone should be expected to maintain composure at all times, it would be me. However, and I have zero shame in saying this, I've had panic attacks come that have rendered me absolutely useless. All rationale goes flying out of the window. I'm having a heart attack. I'm about to pass out. I'm dying. It doesn't even matter whether I'm in front of 100 people or on my couch alone. They hit. They hit very hard. What he felt in this moment was some combination of these feelings. It's hard enough when you're alone or in a comfortable environment. He had one at the worst possible time. He needed to exit stage left immediately. He's not weird or mentally ill. These things happen. Nobody is immune.
i’m a 13 year old girl & i suffer from extreme anxiety & i get really terrible panic attacks. thank you for you comment, this made me feel a little better.
@@giannapspsmeow it gets better. I went from panic everyday to maybe once a month. Don't be afraid to get on medication. Also, research "exposure therapy". Those 2 things saved my life. Literally.
@@brandon.lewis. thank you :)
I am completely homebound since 1979
I had 4 today but I don’t know how to express it when it happens I just sit there looking on in fear it honestly sucks
I did the same thing once.The only difference was that I was asked to leave because I wasn't making much sense on the stage.
I feel you Micheal.
Gosh, it sucks that this ended up on youtube. Its literally the greatest fear for a panic attack to go viral
I hate public speaking. Been in the same situation and somehow managed to blurt my way through it. It's the worst feeling and after it's over you still feel bad.....for days!
As much as I don't really like Michael Bay movies , he was pretty damn relatable in this moment . Happens to everyone .
I actually feel sorry for Michael Bay.. I hope everything is okay!
Poor guy. If he had just paused, taken a moment and spoke from the heart, he could have gotten back on track. Worst thing that can happen is what he already did. No harm in walking off the stage. But like all of us have done before, I know he regretted it.
Remind me not to ask him to be in my improv group.
Seven years later and I'm just seeing this for the first time. Not a fan of Bay's work, I find it unengaging and poorly thought out, but I've spent plenty of time on stage, doing pre-prepared stuff and adlibbing. It's an entirely different skill-set to directing. When directing, he's in charge. On stage like that he's aware that all eyes are on him, hanging on his every word, but he's not in charge. Not everyone can cope with that.
Was it me, or did you hear a gunshot after he left?
Lior420, that's him punching or kicking something as if to say "fuck, it got the better of me again" I really felt for him, it's a fucked up feeling.
You guys he didn't walk off because he was having a panic attack. He walked off because the auto cue failed and he didn't have a clue what to say. If you know your business well you would know the answer.....he only asked how he creates such great ideas and how the curve tv can help viewers. Even I could answer that. He basically was relying on auto cue and it failed so he had no idea how to answer. He should have prepared in the event of that happening.
Yeah, makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who has experienced this. We are all human and have different challenges in life. This happened to me during an interview. I felt so embarrassed and failed the interview 😞. Life goes on and I'm okay. I have decided to retire and just enjoy my life!
I've had that. And I just stand there letting my mouth roll without knowing what will come out next. Really uncomfortable. In a couple occasions friends have come to my rescue taking the mic from me. Then come the days and weeks of thinking what I should've said instead etc. Not the kind of stress anyone needs.
As a person who suffers from anxiety and panic attacks I completely understand what he's going thru however he should of known enough not to pit himself in this situation!
Anxiety attacks for those of you who don't know, are totally debilitating. It's a feeling of pure doom that comes over your entire being in a wave, totally unwarranted and instantaneously. As if someone has just told you that you're going to die in 10 seconds.
Once it starts, it seemingly builds and gets worse with every single heartbeat FORCING you to drop what you're doing and distract yourself to calm down. Nothing matters in that moment. If you're on the phone, you hang up. If you're driving, you stop and get out. If you're in the middle of checking out at the grocery store, you stop and walk away. Sure, you look totally crazy but there is no working through it, while also continuing to partake in what ever activity youre involved in. I hate them.
He handled it with a great way . He was just nervous being recorded by all of these cameras. I would have been too . He knew that he was going to screw up anyway and that's why he left . That's not something to have fun with .
That guy stayed completely calm throughout the whole video. What a boss
Awe, maybe he over-prepared. I can totally relate to this! Sometimes you are just so dead set on something going according to plan, you freak out when you lose your place. Oh well, next time Michael. Glad to see all the supportive comments too. I have anxiety and I'm pretty sure I'm a terrible public speaker. Camera - I'm okay. Public speaking, no way.
"Ummm...Sorry...What do I do? I made the fuckin' Transformer movies. 'Nuff said. I'm done."
I went to a concert and saw the singer literally run off the stage with stage fright.
It's sad to see a man who has brought us so much joy have a crippling panic attack like that
Isn’t it awful that we feel we have to lie about having a panic attack
Suffering from anxiety and panic attacks doesn't make you weak it makes you human.
At least he didn’t fall to the ground and loose his breath. He did good. I’ve seen worse
I've had two when I was hosting sales meetings in front of a small team. You start listening to what you are saying too much, then analyse it while you're speaking about something else then focus on that, losing your train of thought, then your mind goes blank. I had to leave the room like this. Then you feel so embarrassed about it all. It's horrible.
*train of thought...
This is a good lesson. If the audio/visual equipment fails, then have it on paper so you can pull out of your pocket and just read it.
Successful people are expected to be successful at everything.
I kinda feel sorry for him because I know how hard it is especially when you have to talk in front of thousands of people.
the outstanding people don't see what's going on inside him. it's like the whole world shaking and it keeps getting worse
I hope you found a way to get over it if you take your time you can make it
Happens to us all, unfortunately i didn't have the option to leave....
Dang...feel bad for him.
this has happened to me almost... you feel like a boulder is on ur chest and u can't breath and u start to doubt urself and lose confidence that you will be able to finish the presentation. u just feel so anxious that you want to drop your presentation notes and run away and walk out of the room, but u know u will be embarassed later so u it takes everything in u to keep going
A few months ago in February (its summer break now) i had to present an essay in front of maybe 100 or so people and i didnt even get past one short paragraph. I started reading and just felt like a couldnt breath, it was weird but i tried to keep going, i was so scared and every 3 words i had to take a deep, shaky breath, and then it suddenly hit me. I looked up and saw everyone, i froze. Then i turned around and handed the microphone to my teacher and whispered “im scared” and began trying to walk behind stage, while i couldnt breath, and biting my nails. He was so nice about and led me off stage where i sat back down and started crying. Anxiety is torture.
This is why he is behind the camera and never in front of it.
I feel you, man, I feel you. Even if someone tells me it's okay, it doesn't help shit.
