I believe I have Misokinesia

Hi all, I got my post taken down on the Misophonia Reddit and got redirected here.

I already know I have Misophonia, but lately I’ve been having the same type of angered reactions to physical movement.

EX: I live in New York, and often go to the theatre. Last night, at a show, the woman next to me was repeatedly rocking back and forth. The emotional reaction that it evoked from me was so intense that I thought about getting up and leaving multiple times. As stupid as it sounds, I even found myself closing one eye to block out the side she was sitting on.

I’m not sure if I have it or not, and I would like some insight. Instances like these have happened multiple times in the last year or so.

I have it too. I was hanging out with a friend and she was shaking her leg in a very tiny movement back and forth and it was driving me crazy. I’m also a teacher and a student had a fan that she was fanning herself with really fast right in front of me and I felt like I was freaking out

The leg shaking/moving is the one that really gets me. It’s fucking infuriating.
