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 or hair twirling. 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. Although it is thought to be quite prevalent, there has been little awareness or research of it. It commonly occurs together with misophonia, the strong reaction to particular sounds: in a sample of over one thousand adults from Amazon Mechanical Turk, 25.5 percent reported having both misokinesia and misophonia.
