text: Almost everyone does this to be sure because when you get something wrong everything goes downhill from there. Lots of people get stressed when their answering something that is hard of them or hard to decide, so they usually depend on other people to help them. When asking only one person for advise, it will most likely lead you to the wrong answer so most people stick to asking more then one person and then when you have all the opinions you can pick the one said the most out of everyone. Asking more then one person will make you feel better and more sure about your answer.
