text: We have talked about some of the positives of asking a group, but what about the negatives? What could go wrong? One bad thing about asking a group for advice is that it may be hard to choose between different peoples' opinions. If you go to get ice cream with some friends and don't know which flavor to choose, if all of them give you a different opinion to which flavor is the best, you may feel torn between all of the choices that they have presented you with. To add to that, if you choose one friend's advice over the others', your other friends may feel that their opinion does not matter as much to you as the friend who's advice you took. You may also regret the advice that you took, because if pistachio ice cream is disgusting, you may feel that you could have made a better choice by taking the advice of others in the group. You may also be in a situation where the decision that you have to make is very personal, and you don't want to share it with many people. You may feel embarrassed about the advice that you have to ask, and feel that people will judge you for asking.
