text: In addition to seeing things from a different perspective, asking multiple people for advice can help someone make a better choice because people will be honest and tell someone what they think is best for him or her, so he or she makes a logical, thought through decision. Often times, when in a tough situation, people will "go with their gut," but sometimes, that's not the best decision for the person. When "going with your gut," someone just does what he or she feels is right, but asking for multiple opinions will help someone justify his or her choice and think through what he or she wants to do. People will say what he or she thinks is best for someone even if he or she doesn't agree with him or her, and try to help someone understand why he or she thinks that is the best thing for him or her. People will be more honest with someone then he or she will be with himself or herself, which will help him or her make the best choice they can.
