Too many people think of a damsel in distress as something negative.
Typically, a damsel in distress who exists in fairytale stories constantly needs to be rescued or saved.
Being a damsel in distress (in the real world) isn’t actually such a problem when you’re genuinely ready to feel relaxed in your feminine energy within your romantic relationship.
TikToker @VeganHippieSol, also known as Dominique, shared a video highlighting why it’s important to make use of the “damsel in distress” hack — especially if you’re a Black woman.

What is the “damsel in distress” relationship hack?
Dominique explains in her video that your stress levels will immediately start going down if you start responding to questions from your partner with, “I don’t know.”
Instead of constantly stressing yourself out, jumping into action, saving the day, and solving EVERY SINGLE problem, it’s best to relax in your feminine energy by giving off a damsel in distress vibe.
Dominique notes, “Your blood pressure might even go down, and your peace is going to be through the roof.”
Black women have historically been recognized for being some of the most hard-working individuals in society.
Why is it that Black women have a reputation for never knowing when to take a break? Historically speaking, Black women have never even had a chance to take a break.
Dominique says she snagged some advice from her mother-in-law who’s been successfully married for 30 years.
Her mother-in-law is the one who simply told her to act like a damsel in distress.
Even if you think you have all the answers and you believe you know how to solve every issue, allow yourself to fall back for a minute and relax.
Understand that every single problem doesn’t have to fall on your shoulders. You don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your back at all times. You don’t have to come up with all the answers.
Sometimes, it’s okay to be a damsel as you allow your partner to rescue you from distress.
