Barty Crouch Jr
A phobia of empty spaces, known as kenophobia, turns vacant rooms, open fields, and bare environments into sources of genuine terror. The heart races, breathing tightens, and the mind screams for an exit from a space that poses no real threat.
There’s often an intense, immediate urge to flee, not just discomfort but a drive-level imperative. Then there’s the anticipatory anxiety: the dread of potentially being in an empty space, which can be nearly as debilitating as the exposure itself. People plan routes through buildings to avoid empty corridors. They time arrivals at events to ensure crowds are already present. They decorate heavily, compulsively, because bare surfaces feel dangerous.
I can see Barty having that. Feeling uneasy when there is nothing to do or distract his mind from making up dangerous scenarios
