text: Next, asking multiple people lets you find others that have gone through the same situation as you and figure what is best to do. For example, Generic_Name had just gotten into an argument with her friend and didn't know what to do, when she asked her friend Generic_Name for advice she told her that she had once gotten into an argument with the same person as Generic_Name so she let her know what to do. With that advice Generic_Name's problem was now solved. Another case, in where this happened is when Generic_Name got dumped by her boyfriend she was overcome with sadness, but she didn't want to stay like this she knew a lot of her friends had been through this exact situation she went to them for advice they gave her amazing advice that helped her overcome her dilemma. Now if she had gone with someone that hadn't gone through a breakup their advice wouldn't have been as effective. So going for multiple people for advice lets you meet people that have gone through the same situation.
