text: One of the reasons why asking for multiple opinions is more beneficial is because each individual has a different experience. When you are asking for advice, it is better for you to have a conversation with someone else that had a similar experience as you. For example, my cousin Generic_Name was involved in a conflict with his friends in 4th grade and asked his older brother for advice. However, his brother did not have a similar experience as him, and was not able to give Generic_Name helpful advice. His brother has never been involved in a conflict with his friends. However, if Generic_Name asked not only his brother, but also his teachers, parents, or mentors, there was more likely a chance that one of those people had a similar experience as him. Having similar experiences as Generic_Name will lead to giving him beneficial advice. Not only there is a better chance that you will get better advice, but also you can hear different ideas.
