text: one reason you should ask multiple people is because it makes the advice more believable. Have you ever asked someone for advice on something, like telling the truth on something you did, and the first person you ask tells you to lie, you should ask other people if you're not sure. If the majority of the people tell you to tell the truth then you should go with that. Although, sometimes its not always like that because you could ask someone you've known for a long time and he knows you well, and he tells advice on something and you ask other people who dont know you very well and they tell you another thing, you should go with the person who knows you better.
