Misokinesia
Sensory disorder related to misophonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Misokinesia is a condition marked by a strong negative emotional or physiological response to the sight of movements made by other people, such as fidgeting, leg shaking, hair twirling, and others.[1] It is often described as a "hatred of movements" and can lead to feelings of annoyance, anger, and notable anxiety. The cause of misokinesia is unknown.[2]
While misokinesia is thought to be quite prevalent[3] there has been little awareness or research of it. Misokinesia is commonly comorbid with misophonia; in a sample of over one thousand adults from Amazon Mechanical Turk, 25.5% reported having both misokinesia and misophonia.[3] Misokinesia may also often co-occur with misophonia.
