text: The first reason why asking for multiple opinions can help someone make better decisions is people have different experiences. Not all experiences go down the same way. One time when I went to a zip line park, I asked my friend who has gone zip lining if it was scary. She said it was exhilarating and was terrified but told me to do it. On the other hand, my other friend claimed he hated it and didn't recommend that I do it. In the end, my other friend twisted my arm and convinced me not to do it. I had missed out on a really big first experience, and now I regret letting him convince me. Different people have different experiences that are either good or bad.
