When others tell you what they would do, it may help you realize that they made a better choice and you should follow it. If your friends tell you about why they chose that, it makes you think more clearly about what to do and how to chose the right choice. Asking them questions that you may have been thinking of but don't know what to do helps you understand more and helps you figure out what to do. Seeking multiple opinions about something to make a better choice and hearing what others have to say really helps you understand everything better.
