How would you fear time?

[Hoshino]

If the character has Chronophobia, then how would you describe it?

For instance, If the Character lets say for example hoshino is experiencing random jumps of times, and random time stops in minutes—years.
Seeing the world's time stop where only you can move isn't that great as it will make you paranoid and you will get that feeling that someone is watching you when no one is, no laws will bound you as no one will be able to cath you but that also makes you slowly go insane as there is no human interactions and your dying for loneliness—you eventually forget everyone as time keeps changing, as the timelime keep distorting and until you know it you start fearing time, whereas you don't even realize it and just can't describe that strange feeling of time as people keep forgetting you and no one remembers, until you finally succumb to insanity.

Would you just make the character subconsciously avoid time and make them not see time, to make them see time not see time, as just as a blur or distorted,static and a blank of just characters that you they can't comprehend?

For the first question, I would use a psychological horror approach. An approach that focuses on the mentality of the character.

Example:
The ticking of the clock gnawed at his sanity, each second a relentless drumbeat marching him toward an inevitable end. He couldn’t look at watches without feeling his throat tighten, as if the hands were reaching for him, dragging him forward against his will. Time was a prison, its walls invisible but inescapable, and every passing moment was another iron bar slamming into place

The second is making the character face his struggle to make him more likeable and to avoid making him a flat character. Let the audience read how he will overcome his phobia, letting them see his growth. The more relatable he is, the more the audience will be emotionally attached to him.​

Timeloops, barren landscapes, and melted clocks also some notion of stillness equals death.

The character would avoid or destroy clocks or anything else that reminded him of the passage of time, probably. Calendars, day planners, maybe even newspapers, as every page has "today's" date (which may be yesterday or tomorrow for the chronophobic, especially if they are disconnected somehow from time and not experiencing it - or AFRAID they are not experiencing it - in a linear manner).
Or they might just get kind of silly, because it really is just a wibbly, wobbly mass of timey-wimey ... stuff.

Just make him a normal human if you are the writer coz you should never let others suffer because of your madness, not even your fictional characters. Love your characters and you'll learn to love yourself
