Misokinesia is a sensitivity to seeing others fidget that is prevalent in the general population.

Misokinesia--or the 'hatred of movements'--is a psychological phenomenon that is defined by a strong negative affective or emotional response to the sight of someone else's small and repetitive movements, such as seeing someone fidget with a hand or foot. Among those who regularly experience misokinesia sensitivity, there is a growing grass-roots recognition of the challenges that it presents as evidenced by on-line support groups. Yet surprisingly, scientific research on the topic is lacking.
