An anonymous patient confesses a severe aversion to fidgeting, expressing a visceral urge to harm those who engage in repetitive movements, indicating the intensity of misokinesia.
Misokinesia, characterized by an extreme dislike for fidgeting, affects potentially one in three individuals, causing intense emotional responses and linking closely with misophonia.
Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with a misokinesia support group, uncovering that common triggers include twitchy fingers, leg jiggling, and other repetitive movements.
Dr. Jane Gregory notes a notable overlap between misokinesia and the more recognized condition of misophonia, indicating these phenomena might be more common than previously understood.
