text: Lastly, this will give you more time to think. Usually when you ask one person for advice, you go ahead and do what they said without much thought. But, when you ask numerous people what they think you should do, you'll have more time to think about your options and feel more relaxed about your decision. For example, lets say your boyfriend gets mad at you for hanging out with your best friend instead of him. So he makes you choose between him and her. If you ask one person what you should do, what they say may not end up being the best choice. If you ask multiple people, it gives you more time to think about what you really want as well.
