text: The second reason people should ask more than one friend is not all of your so called "friends" wants whats best for you. I learned that when my close friend gave me the awful advice of ignoring a problem with my best friend until it "went" away, i later learned she told me to do that because she was jealous of the relationship i had with my best friend at the time. so she purposely gave me bad advice so she could have me all to herself, and thats when i realized not all "friends" have your back. so thats why you have to make sure your asking a true friend for advice.
