text: For example, you can compare and see which one you like best. Someone could give you some advice that seems kind of sketchy but if you don't ask anybody else so then you might do what they told you to and the situation can end up even worse than what it was when you started. A better choice would be to not just ask one person but instead asking many different people to see which one you are most comfortable with and that suits you and your personality. Say you were a shy person and you ask someone that's almost the exact opposite of you and the advice they give you is kind of bold and out there which isn't who you are so you would ask another person who might have a more conservative piece of advice and choose to listen to them and everything works out because you were more comfortable with the conservative idea which you may not have gotten unless you asked more than one person.
