text: In the first place, having another perspective on an issue helps you know what they think is best to do. When they give you a reason behind that choice, it helps you understand where they are coming from and realize the outcomes of them. If you ask people who have been in the same situation before, they can help you and tell you what the right thing to do would be. They can help walk you through it and make you feel a little bit better knowing you have someone who has been in the same shoes you are in now. Having another person tell you their thoughts and opinions might make you think of things you might have never thought about until hearing their points about it.
