text: Specifically, asking multiple people for their opinion can change someone's perspective because the way someone says something might persuade him or her to change his or her mind about the situation he or she is in. If he or she asks someone who is very honest, the person might say something that slaps him or her in the face and makes him or her understand the situation he or she is in. That could very easily change someones mind, especially if the person asking for advice is friends with or close to the person giving advice. People usually go to their close friends or family for advice, so if he or she asks someone he or she is close with, the person giving advice will try their best to persuade him or her to think what he or she thinks about the situation. People will say things he or she thinks will make the person asking for advice agree with him or her so the person asking for advice can see the situation from the advice giver's perspective.
