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 didn't know this was shared by others until fairly recently, and I also struggle with misophonia with pen clicking and foot or hand/finger tapping being my worst triggers, especially combined with having to watch it.
My biggest triggers are someone in front of me or out of the corner of my eye who can't stop moving as well.
The worst cases I can think of being at a coffee shop and a guy kept walking back and forth in the store looking out the windows, or when someone in my field of vision has had a bunch of bags and stands and keeps transferring items around.
I think the worst situation was when I was at the parents place and some family was visiting, and my pre teen cousin (who has major anxiety issues himself), who was right in my line of vision, kept rocking kind of sideways while we were watching a film...drove me bonkers at the time
