Misokinesia
Misokinesia is a condition where people feel very uncomfortable or upset when they see certain movements made by others.[1] It can create feelings of rage and distraction when a person with misokinesia sees people fidget or make repetitive motions.[2] Some examples of these motions or movements are leg shaking, hair twirling, and finger tapping. [3]
About one in three people might experience some level of misokinesia.[1] Misokinesia is often found alongside a similar condition called misophonia.[1][3] Scientists are still learning about misokinesia, and more research is being done to understand it better.[2]
