text: Seeking multiple opinions on things can cancel out the original thought. My friend, Generic_Name, asked our friend group our opinion on a specific artist, and she told us at the end that she was thinking about not listening to them, but now she's going to because of what we told her. Lots of people before they ask for someone's opinion, would always have their own opinion at the back of their head. To add on, it is scientifically proven that people don't ask for others opinions with an opened mind. To be more in depth, many but not all people would choose the negative decision if there is one. Sometimes they would ask their closest friends and family their opinions on rough topics that have to deal with a negative decisions.
