text: First of all, asking for a variety of opinions will let you see from others' point of view. For example, let's say you are mad at someone and want to know what to do next. You could be irrationally mad at that person! A few months back, I was real hesitant about breaking up with someone I was dating. I did not know what was the right thing to do, so I asked my friends for help. It is not embarrassing to ask for help whatsoever! I was able to see what others thought of the relationship. You cannot always rely on your own opinions to fix a problem.
