Misokinesia is a genuine psychological condition that involves a sensitivity to seeing other people fidget. It is characterized by a strong negative emotional response to the sight of fidgeting or repetitive motion with a hand or foot. Some people have described it as the "visual version of Misophonia," which is a similar condition that causes individuals to have a strong reaction to certain sounds. It has been observed that some people may have both conditions and trigger reactions may gradually intensify over time.
Research on Misokinesia is currently limited. However, in three studies involving 4100 participants, researchers found that 30% were bothered by other people's movements. The typical reactions involve feelings of annoyance, irritation, and even intense anger. Some individuals experience physical responses such as nausea and rapid heartbeat due to their aversion to repetitive movements. Despite the apparent prevalence of this condition, there has been a lack of dedicated research into the phenomenon.
