00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 According to a new scientific study, one in three have it.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 What is it, and are you in the 30% with it?

00:00:09 --> 00:00:09 Tune in.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 Hello,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:21 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 Please like, share, and subscribe.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:30 MOMO 634 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 I've shared before that I have misophonia,

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 being bothered by chewing sounds.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:51 Weird?

00:00:52 --> 00:00:53 Maybe,

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 but according to the Misophonia Institute,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 about 15% of the population shares this trait.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 But what on earth is misokinesia?

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 According to an article at Science Alert,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12 it means hatred of movements and refers to the subset of the population,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14 estimated to be as high as 30%,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 bothered by the fidgeting of others.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24 The University of British Columbia first published information on this

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24 phenomenon

00:01:26 --> 00:01:26 in 2021,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29 and follow-up studies were conducted by

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31 to understand more about the reaction,

00:01:32 --> 00:01:34 and recently released their findings.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39 I just find little things like this fascinating and love looking at the

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40 science behind them.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46 We all have little foibles and idiosyncrasies that make up this human experience.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52 This isn't earth-shattering news, but I found it so interesting.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56 Maybe it's a conversational factoid,

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 or something to give you a competitive edge in a trivia game,

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06 or maybe you are the one in three and can finally feel vindicated.

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10 I'll link the article below this episode at momo634.com.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:19 Little tidbits like these are opportunities to learn and exercise patience

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20 with our fellow man.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22 What's your take on this?

00:02:23 --> 00:02:25 Had you heard of misokinesia before this?

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29 Do you have it or do you know someone with it?
