text: Another reason why listening to what other people think is useful is because it gives the questioner different choices to choose from. Sometimes, people will prefer to go with the opinions of others instead of formulating their own. Many want to conform and fit in, while others do not have the energy to decide for themselves. Some are just unable to form an opinion on the specified topic. Whatever the reason, asking more than one person on their basis is really helpful for them. For example, someone who can't decide something can usually look up to their friends for a better choice. Someone who wants to choose a team to root for during a game but can't think of which to pick can go with the side with the majority of supporters. Seeking multiple opinions can also help with many other situations like this.
