text: First, asking different people for advice can help you make a better choice, because by asking someone for their advice you are also asking them for their opinion, so they might put themselves in your shoes, and in the other persons shoes, so they can tell the person that needs help how they think they should handle the situation. To add on, some people don't give the best advice, so by asking multiple people, you are reassuring yourself that, you have choices and you don't have to go with only one persons advice.
