text: One reason why people ask for others opinion on things is so that they get a different perspective. Looking at something one minded and not being open to other ides can block creativity. Causing you to not be so confident in your desicions. Which personally makes me paranoid. Yes, we all make mistakes and learn from them, but we won't learn anyhting if all people do when we make a mistake is judge you and hold a grudge. So getting somebody else's perspective on what you wear, say, and do can stop you from making a mistake that most people won't forgive you for.
