Afraid of one's shadow




One is said to be afraid of one’s shadow if he is very nervous and gets frightened easily. It also refers to a person who feels guilty about a past conduct or misconduct. 

“He did not pay taxes when he was an ordinary citizen. Now that he is mayor his less-than-exemplary record haunts him. He is afraid of his own shadow!”
