text: Sometimes when asking for advice, people talk to more than one person because it is difficult to get proper reassurance with only one person's opinion, a person may favor somebody else's opinion, rather than the first person they asked, or sometimes, others simply lack honesty. Many people like to see what others think about them, rather it be a new look, or needing guidance in a difficult situation. They may also be seeking reassurance, to make sure others think they handled a situation the correct way.
