text: Talking to more than one person can help you make a better decision because you are listening to multiple viewpoints about your problem. This gives you the ability to choose what you which advice to follow. For example if you are seeking out advice on which ice cream flavor to choose, and your mom says chocolate while your dad says vanilla, you have narrowed down the options to just two which you now get the freedom to choose between. Having different viewpoints gives you other options if you don't like one. If you only get advice from one person, and you are unsatisfied with their advice, you don't have any other options. With multiple viewpoints you have more advice if you are unhappy with one person's. Generally speaking, people give advice based off of what they would do in that situation. When you have different people's advice you get the opportunity to see what they would do if they were in your place. A lot of the times, different types of people will do different things in the same situation. Getting viewpoints from different types of people can help you make a decision based on what you want to do and what you are comfortable with doing. Using multiple viewpoints helps you make a better decision because it gives you choice, and helps you base your decision off others.
