text: People often ask for second opinions because they feel the need to. Imagine yourself trying on an ugly over sized t-shirt. You may like it, and maybe your friend does too. But if you were to ask someone else like your dad to see if they would like it do you think they would? No! Absolutely not. Dads hate over sized ugly t-shirts. Asking for a second opinion is always a good idea. Whether it be positive feedback, or negative feedback. It shapes your mind to make the correct choice. This will not always be the case though. Some people refuse to listen, even if it is constructive negative feedback. A study found by George Mason University reports that after asking for a second opinion and the response is negative feedback, they will still continue to choose the opposite of the feedback they were given. Why are our mentalities like this? Humans have evolved over time to become the dominant species. Our brains in away think we are always right, and everyone is wrong. This is why some people have so much trouble respecting other people's opinions. They refuse to believe they are wrong. The FBI reported that even serial killers asked for multiple opinions to see if they should kill their first victim. Although everyone said no, the serial killer continues to make the bad choice anyway.
