Do you have a hard time managing your misokinesia?
Do you feel trapped and frustrated by the discomfort that other people's fidgeting causes you?
Life gets complicated when shaking legs and finger taps stress you out.
At home, you can ask your loved ones to stop fidgeting, but they often go right back after a few minutes. That can leave you even more frustrated in addition to feeling anxious.
It's harder to cope at work or in public. Especially when you're dining out or traveling, when leaving the room just isn't an option. And the triggers are everywhere! These days, it seems like everyone has a nervous tic.
Luckily, hypnosis has shown great potential in treating this kind of problem.
What causes misokinesia
No one knows exactly what causes misokinesia to occur, but you're not alone. The largest study on this condition estimates that one-third of people feel misokinesia to some degree.1Â However, the intensity wildly varies from person to person.
Some people have just one trigger. Others have several. Some people feel mildly uncomfortable, and many others experience deep and unpleasant sensations.
You might hate when people sway or twirl their hair. Gum chewing could be your trigger. Or you may be one of many people who simply can't stand to witness other people's restless legs. Even reading this list might be painful.
But why?
People with misokinesia may have different brain wirings than everyone else. Here's a helpful way to think about it: Many people will wince when they see someone get hurt unexpectedly. It's an empathetic response. They see someone get hurt and it triggers a slight pain in them. Your brain registers fidgeting in a similar way.
You see someone fidget and you feel like it's happening to you. But you can't stop it. That can lead to extreme frustration and stress.
So, what can you do? Learning how to quiet your mind can help.
