text: First, you can see others' point of view on your problem. Advice can allow you to see what other people would choose to do if they were placed in your spot. For example, If you were deciding whether to hang out with friends or complete your school assignments, you could ask a friend. They would probably state what they would choose, and back it up with reasons why they chose what they chose. You would receive advice and why you should choose that option. One opinion can help you choose what you'd like to do or say. Although seeking more than just one can give you more choices and options.
