"Vague terror" is terror that has no clear cause; as such, it is all-encompassing.
Usually terror is directly caused by something. For example, someone might have a terror of heights, crowds, or spiders. In these situations, the source of one's terror is clear, and avoiding the trigger (heights, crowds, spiders) is generally easy to do.
If terror were to have a clear source, it could be easily defined (and therefore easily combatted). When terror is vague, however, it cannot be easily defined (and cannot be easily defeated). Therefore, "vague terror" is much worse.
1. be clear and concise - don't make it too long
2. highlight key parts about your life but don't go into too much detail
3. indirectly describe yourself. e.g you may be a confident person, but maybe, instead of outright stating it you could list a few things that have connotations of being confident. e.g public speaker
""Please give me the documents as soon as possible," she said." That's a line of dialogue.
